Though not quite the path you're looking down, I'd recomend using a 
proxy server and then parsing it's log files.

I use squid (www.squid-cache.org) with squidguard (www.squidguard.org).

I parse the log files with some ugly shell scripts, but there's a 
handful of logfile parsers listed on the squid site.
