Ever thought of squid? What size is your network? Can you give any more details?

I have approx 400 clients - using win9x/win2000 desktops.
MS proxy 2.0 is running on a win2000 server.
We also use Websense to control access to by NT user/groups.

Im not sure about this, check with websense, but I think you are limited to one of the proxy servers they support.
Below taken from websense.com
The following features have been added in v4.3.0:

CacheFlow (off-box deployment)
Check Point FireWall-1
Cisco Cache Engine
Cisco Secure PIX Firewall
CyberGuard Firewall
Inktomi Traffic Server
Microsoft ISA Server
Microsoft Proxy Server
Netscape Proxy Server
NetScreen
Network Appliance NetCache

Last year when I talked to their tech support, they had no plans on supporting Squid, but I was guessing that you could still use ANY socks server.
this is my favorite socks server, it runs on linux though (my personal favorite also)
