Your best bet in this case is to place a appropriately sized 
firewall at
the customer's site, i.e. Cisco PIX 501 - 515 series or SonicWall's
equivalent and link it to a WebSense or N2H2 content 
filtering server at
your NOC.

Joe,

Cisco's Content Engine can also do the functions that Scott
mentioned, plus gives you the benefit of web caching.  It's 
very feature-rich, and the command line looks a lot like IOS.

You can configure it to FTP your whitelist of URLs, and set
up user-specific or global time restrictions, which address
a couple of your specs.  For the latter, I think you need
the Smart Filter module, which is not part of the basic 
Content Engine distribution.
