using a proxy cache can also slow you down. I manage content on an industry specific web based application. To achieve private branding EVERY page is dynamically created. I find the application can be a real dog IF the customer is using a proxy cache. The cache becomes a bottleneck as it tries to match its content with the application's content based on URL. Make sure your IT staff know how to configure the proxy cache to avoid caching specified web domains.
If you're gonna use your computer as a primary or secondary type-a or type-b DNS server or Name Host Relay (NHR) then you're gonna' want the proper SSH/SSL socket handling protocols in place. To start out look around the house for a network interface card, one that is relatively good in quality. Then hook-it-up and apply static IP to it. Then when you get the chance, make it a loop-back connector. You do so by using the default manual address operation and any basic IP address. for example: 196.168.20.10
255.254.252.0 and 10.0.0.0 for the gateway and 127.0.0.1 for the DNS, feel free to switch any of these around as well to get the most optimal settings. Next, you could just go into your netsh, install a Stunnel software, and use some TCP warppers or something of the nature. Make sure that when you do this, your SSH and SSL connections are properly secured and shut-off when your are not using them. Some settings in the router control panel, Windows Firewall modes, and Advanced Network connection Settings, as well as the netsh are definitely necessary for this to work. THe beauty of the additional network interface card is the ability to create a forwarding zone for all of your additional internet packets, so that the check sum and data ids can remain in a secure-state.

We used to block streaming media sites, but there are many businesses making use of YouTube and other sites you would think are totally unnecessary for business. We often have users who need to access training videos and other content on YouTube.
There's allot more than just "streaming media" which needs to be blocked enterprise-wide (sure the marketing dept. is one exception)
But ESPN, NCAA, Netflix, Hulu, SyFy, TNT, CollegeHumor, etc. should also be blocked. I've also reclaimed bandwidth by blocking games, advertisements, forums, time-wasters like facebook/myspace, 3rd party (non-company) email and IM like hotmail/yahoo, Skype, file sharing/P2P clients, Tor and anon. proxy sites.
If your business doesn't use it, then there's no reason for it on your network.
