I've used smoothwall for personal and small business use since it was in beta. It has a nice easy to use web GUI and a transparent web proxy. It will log all URLs cached by the proxy and you can filter by IP address. You can also filter the file types displayed from the log.
Smoothwall does NAT also, so it may not fit into the existing network. Would a cisco running NBAR do what you need?
