Which brings me back to a router/firewall/proxy/caching server. Like you pointed out I'm trying to bolt on a solution to an application that does not want one. I can see needing to expand this to ( currently ) 4 laptops and 2 desktops, add ( near future ) 2 smart phones and 4+ smart toys ( aka PSP, iPod touches, etc ) and it makes real sense to APPLY the blocking wholesale to all devices on the network. Thus to apply a Internet junk filter and cache across all devices.
So back to the original question, can anyone recommend a good solution? Please do not respond with Astaro or even IPcop, I'm talking full solution not half-baked one. Joe PS the flaw is not Google's fault, webkit engine can not be intrupted, unlike Gecko <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko_(layout_engine)> engine that Firefox uses.
