The canonical solution to this sort of requirement is to implement a web
proxy on the egress from your network.  Within the proxy you maintain a
blacklist of forbidden sites that it will refuse to provide service to.

The trick is to use firewall redirection to force any and all web
traffic to hit the proxy, and permit only the proxy to make web requests
from your corporate network to the outside world -- the term is
"transparent proxy."

This works best with unencrypted traffic, but can also be made to work
with HTTPS, although not quite as effectively.  It is also possible for
a motivated person to use VPN software to get around this sort of
restriction, but anyone so desperate to evade your corporate policies is
probably better handled by your HR department than by getting into a
technological arms-race.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
