I saw someone mention DansGuardian, another solution is set up a 
transparent squid, if you are using the fedora box inline. You would 
need two packages to accomplish this, Squid and SquidGuard. Both are 
simple to set up and are very good in terms of speed and transparency. 
Though if you were not bound to FOSS and had the budget for it, I would 
suggest a quicker and more robust/reliable solution of using a Bluecoat.
