Dansguardian works on a blacklist basis that is heavily categorized. you can block by site url, words/phrases in the url, and even by web site content (thats where the squid part comes in, squid is a proxy server and pre-caches the site so the system can read the content of the url if needed.) the base blacklist is downloadable once for free (from another web site) after the once you are encouraged to register with a fee from which you derive the right to download incremental updates so you can keep your blacklists up to date. Both DG and Squid are in ports. Have fun.
