There's some information available at 
http://people.apache.org/~amc/tiphares/home.html .

Fwiw, some of your objectives / requirements would require you to code 
ATS plugins. For example, content filtering and URL blacklisting is not 
supported out of the box, and same with ad removals. I don't know if 
Squid has such features available, but that might also be an option to 
look into.
