Please, don't get me wrong: I am not suggesting that your desire to police
this is wrong, or anything like that. I hope you succeed, even if you don't
think it is likely.

*nod* Actually, one of the biggest problems[1] is that there are a huge
number of briefly existing "collect the free bits" sites out there, usually on
some random blog or other...

*nod* Anyway, the dansguardian stuff is pretty decent, and hopefully will do
what you want.
Um, and I forgot to suggest: you might also call your ISP and ask them if they
can offer anything by way of a solution. For all the moral panic about
needing to implement this stuff a *large* number of ISPs previously offered a
filtered connection service at a fairly reasonable price.
That actually *improves* your solution, because (A) you don't need to support
it, and (B) you are going to have to pay that anyway.
