[CS-FSLUG] DansGuardian installation

[John Mark Clayton]

Tim,
squidGuard looked like the thing to try.  After hacking all afternoon, I
realized I'll never get this to work with my current lan setup.  I thought
it could work like dnsmasq does.  Now I see that it requires two interfaces
like a firewall.  I'm not ready to rework the lan to do this.  That is assuming
I understand everything I've read.
Thanks for the help though.
Mark
