I've been messing around with pfsense, and what I'd like to do is create a machine with pfsense or untangle on it that can act as a web filter. I'm not so much interested in the firewall capabilities, but I'm fine if they are there. I'd like to also not use it as a DHCP server. In other words, the system would look like this:
Internet=>main gateway machine=>switch=>lots of boxes
where lots of boxes would contain this filter machine and I could tell certain systems to look to it as the gateway and some to just directly look at the real gateway. Is this possible? I'm stuck trying pfsense...can't figure it out, but I'd also do it with untangle if it's feasible. Or is there a smarter way? There often is a smarter way to do things than I do them.
