Squid IS the solution.
I work with it for over 2 years and it is very flexible and very
powerful.
There are alot of features so you need to take some time to learn the
program.
You also have addons for the logfiles so that you can see who did what.
I use sarge for that (you can find links to it on the squid website)

Cheers
Philippe.

Oh god....
can you do some google or RTM first?
There are a LOT of companies that can do the work of installing Squid for you.
If you want to use OPEN SOURCE, please, dont expect all in a
plate...take some time and read the documents firts.

You can do in both ways, with one nic or two...
If you want to do this transparent, use two nic.

Hey.. be easy on the OP. I know what it feels like to be a newbie. But
seriously, since he's already given the link/suggestion to squid, the
uptake is his but...

The way I've done it, I'm using only 1 NIC. and since it's on 1 machine,
(my laptop) I use the loopback address.

In addition to that, it can also listen to the NIC for _permitted_
requests (say from local lan) to do the proxying.

It can also function as transparent (if the PC housing squid is also the
gateway) else 2 NICs would be needed.
