Proxy for a corporate

Friends.

I want to configure a proxy server for my organization.

We have 1 internet connection with high bandwidth.
we have a people of Executives, Managers, General employees.

we have to configuere various bandwidth for these people.

And we need content filtering to avoid unwanted contents.
we shloud avoid downloading of movies, audio etc.

Please suggest any better FOSS software.

Thanks,
T.Shrinivasan.

Sounds rather stupid. Movies and audio can be important content for
information presentations.

Squid has a delay_pools feature which can be setup to just do
that.

Squidguard or Dansguard can be used with Squid for content
filtering if you want more then just blocking some file type,
which might be more clever and better configurable for such
policy.

Good luck
