Local web cache for restricted users question
I am in charge of a project to teach 20 or so inmates basic computer skills. These people cannot have outside access to the web, but I need to show them how to do a basic Google search and search for articles on Wikipedia. (also needs to be Arabic and English)

I was thinking of using a squid proxy to cache all the sites on the server and then let them go to the predesignated sites and perform the predesignated searches. This method would probably be fine for me but the people teaching the class would have issues updating the cache with new content. (also I can't get squid to retain it's cache for over 1yr)

My question is, is there an easier method of doing this preferably with a web GUI to update the cache. Is their some easier method I could be using?
