I would suggest using SQUID proxy and redirecting all port 80 traffic to it.

It provides nice reporting with tools such as Webanalyzer, etc...

Hi everyone,

 one of my customers have requested a way to log the web sites that a
few employees go to, for an employee review.  They don't want to "spy"
the client computers, more like installing a sniffer on the network just
for them.  Now, I know all about Snort, but I don't think this kind of
tool would do the job.  Would anyone know of some kind of "invisible"
proxy that would just help me log all HTTP/FTP requests?  Also, the tool
musn't slow down the network considerably, since I've seen that happen
before with a few different apps.  And I'm open to solutions under
Windows, Linux and BSD.  Thanks!
