What I have been using at $DAY_JOB has been a mix of Juniper Netscreens
and Websence servers that the netscreens plugin to. That way you can
use a Distributed cluster for the Monitoring/blocking, and it's easy to
use. Also it's not dependent on a central Internet connection, but it's
dependent on the Firewall and the Websence server. Some of my users
hit the web pretty hard too. A couple of sites max out their DS3.
