Aha. Okay. We have had a few admin the last few years converting from
ISA tO Squid. Some older Squid have slightly different behaviour for
NTLM which can seem a little weird at first. But other than that nobody
has mentioned any HTTP features lacking.

I have had a passing view of both Smoothwall and ClarkConnect systems.
They did seem good and either one may do exactly what you are looking for.

I'm addicted to a iptables configurator called "ferm" myself. Its a
command line tool that takes a nice easy to understand config file
format and builds iptables rules. Same level of control and flexibility
as iptables itself, but easier to read and understand the configs.
