     If you want to filter HTTP or HTTPS you can try apache's
    mod-security module (http://www.mod-security.org/)

     For protocls such as edonkey or ftp have look at l7 Filter
    (http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net). They says it works at 7th Layer.
    So you may be able to filter all well known protocols. I haven't
    tried it. So, feedbacks are welcome !
