Yep, interesting idea. Wouldn't be that difficult to implement actually, it would be a configuration frontend for blocking rules in Squid (+ possibly transparent proxy configuration through SuSEfirewall2 to enforce HTTP requests to go through Squid). + implement a protocol and a sample implementation of a website blacklisting system (similar to Razor for spam or DenyHosts for SSH) through a central website or even a P2P architecture > For that matter, I'd love to see a YaST module for configuring SUSE Linux > to act as a terminal server (like LTSP, e.g.).
