FWIW Dan's Guardian is free for educational institutions if you're looking for
a filtering system:

You can install DG on your firewall-of-choice like IPCop http://www.ipcop.org/

DansGuardian is a web filtering proxy that filters using multiple methods.
These methods include URL and domain filtering, content phrase filtering,
PICS filtering, MIME filtering, file extension filtering, and POST
filtering. The content phrase filtering will check for pages that contain
profanities and phrases often associated with pornography and other
undesirable content. The POST filtering allows you to block or limit web
upload. SSL Tunneling is supported.
The URL and domain filtering is able to handle huge lists and is
significantly faster than SquidGuard.
DansGuardian is designed to be completely flexible and allows you to
tailor the filtering to your exact needs. The default settings are geared
towards what an elementary school might want but DansGuardian puts you in
control of what you want to block. We recommend that you install the
DansGuardian GUI to easily configure the DansGuardian configuration files.
