HA : nothing
URL filtering : Squid + one of the squid filtering module that floats
around (can't remember the name of the most complete one right now)
Antivirus : antivirus scanning of HTTP or FTP streams is a hoax. It
simply can't work. SMTP scanning is hard to do right, but still
doable. Use Amavis and your favorite Unix SMTP daemon. You will still
need an antivirus on each desktop box.
