Finally, I'm open to suggestions on whatever other possibilities could
achieve this same effect: build my own firewall/router with a box I get
from DI (what filtering software would I use?), ISPs with server-side
filtering (although I'm on iProvo and I'm pretty sure Veracity and MStar
don't do that), some online service I don't know about, etc. It just has
to be centralized, not-at-each-box filtering, and preferably with various
levels or categories of that to be filtered (other features, like email
alerts or logging of naughty activity, are welcome as well).

If you decide to build your own, I recommend using DansGuardian. Works
well, and is very easy to install. As for the Linksys, is stores
everything in the NVRAM. I don't know if the factory firmware allows
you to mess with that, but the OpenWRT seemds to work well. I have
been meaning to look into some kind of filtering for it, but alas, I
have no time. I am pretty sure that Dansguardian will not work with
out modification to the box, it uses a lot of disk space, and the
WRT54G only has 8-16MB depending on the model.
