Since we're talking about other vendors now, you might want to try
Novell's BorderManager. It'll let you assign certain internet rights
(FTP, HTTP, etc) based on the user login to the server. It's got pretty
good logging functionality. Then again, if you just want access
control, why not combine a Pix with an ACS server? ACS with Pix will
let you do 'downloadable ACLs', at least it does from the outside in via
VPN tunnels. I'm assuming it'll do the same with outbound traffic.
