You'll need some form of intelligence in your gateway. You can have monitoring solutions be in-line with traffic or some form of side-band monitoring. I suggest starting with researching Squid as your gateway device and then looking at its many plugins to enable more thorough internet monitoring.

I recommend the appliance approach.
If the budget allows, the Barracuda Web Filter is a good solution to monitor and manage internet activity. It has comprehensive reporting, granular configurations and is easy for non-technical users (policy-makers) to manage.
