Yep, middleman is also worth checking out.  Dansguardian kicks butt for 
parental-control type stuff, if that's what you're after.

If you really mean application level filtering, rather than just web

customisable.  I forget the name, but it's written in python, with modules 
for analysing different traffic.  Probably slow as hell, and complicated too, 
though ;)
