Website limitation / report system

List;

I have teenage boys. They are good kids, and generally don't get into a lot of trouble online, but the problem with raising a genius or two is that they are constantly curious, and I can't be over their shoulders 24x7.

I want to keep them away from the black hats and pervs in the interwebs. I don't mind if they know I'm doing it. I'd like to be able to block some sites outright. One is running XP Home, and the other is running XP Pro. I have a Windows 2003 Server and a WLAN.

I could do ICS through the server, or I could a host-based package on each system. I've also considered going to Vista for the new Parental Controls it has on board, but I figure if it's part of a MS OS then they must have gotten the tech, or at least the idea, from somewhere else. I'd prefer freeware, of course, but I'd like to know what the list thinks.
