Proxying was suggested and rejected earlier in this thread, I think.
One issue is that users can generally control their own proxy
settings (via the network system pref). Also, some browsers like
Firefox ignore the system proxy settings and have their own prefs
for setting them up.

Technically the OP didn't like Peter Sichel's "transparent proxy",
which is running on a separate server and all traffic would have to go
through that server. GlimmerBlocker's http proxy is running on the
client machine. However there is still the problem you noted about
being able to bypass the proxy.
