If you are using squid as a www proxy server you might like to have a look
at redirector as a possible method of blocking these sites in conjunction
with ipfw to force the machines on the LAN to use www via the proxy.
I have used this several times before in schools and never had any
problems.

You can get to redirector from the squid site http://squid.nlanr.net/squid
