granular control if it would be complicated.

Opendns, as Lanny suggested, works as they advertise. Its not very
granular though.

I've also been using Untangle (untangle.com) and just love it. Its FLOSS
with commercial add-ons; but I think the straight FLOSS capabilities are
great without the fee-based extras.

Its a linux-based router distro. Capable of full NAT routing or as a
transparent bridge, you just build up a beige box with 2 NICs and put
this baby in between the PCs and the internet.

Its got a great UI, and is really flexible.

Depending on what you were hoping for/envisioning it could be a great fit.
