         Yes, this is easy.  But it depends.  Are you referring to doing 
this on each machine or via a firewall?  I'd say it would be easier if it's 
going through a firewall or a proxy because then you have less work and it 
will be easier to actually block this and keep track of it at the same 
time.  IF your internet access is routed through a firewall, just setup 
either a proxy so that only aproved IP's have net access, or in IPFW just 
setup some rules that says something to the respect of "allow out for this 
and this, but not for these if this and this are true, and block the rest 
and only apply to these IP's."  Also, don't forget to log this so you can 
see who's still trying to break the rules.  :)

         As far as how to setup these rules, I'm probubly the last to ask 
on that because I'm definately no expert on IPFW, but I know it can be done 
cause I've done it.  :)
