Hi Bill,
I've never used IPCop (opting for m0n0wall instead), but I was under the 
impression that IPCop lacked any content filtering features requested by 
the OP.

A quick perusing of the website leads me to believe its trying to be a 
kick-ass beige-box firewall/router (and most-likely succeeding), but it 
seems like a content filter it is not. Did I miss some glaring features?

Thanks for the conservation,
Andy
