Check out www.smoothwall.org

Its a linux based firewall with some goodies built in.  It runs a squid
proxy - which will log all the sites requested by IP.  Also has a ton
plugins such as Dans Guardian to help filter out unwanted content.  It
can also schedule internet access for certian times,  and can log /
block all IM conversations.  Also comes stock with Antivirus scanner,
QoS, and an IDS.  All you need is a low-end box with a couple nic's. 
Mine runs on a 1.0ghz / 256MB / 20 GIG, and idles at about 5 or 6% with
everything turned on.

Ive been running it for a few years now - really stable product.
