Before I give you a solution (and there are probably others more
qualified to do so), I think I should say that restricting web access
through proxy rules is probably not such a good idea.  You should really
try setting a company-wide policy regarding this.  If people still break
the rules, then you have better grounds for pulling them up.

Why I think blocking websites using a proxy is a bad idea:
- You can't possibly know the domain names of all xxx sites
- Blocking on keywords in the url would block valid sites too (think
xxx.lanl.gov)
- Blocking on keywords in the body of the page will also catch valid
sites (medical sites, news sites, movie reviews, etc.)

If you're only interested in logging who's accessing what, then that is
within your right, and would instill some amount of control.

Use Squid with acls.  There's a howto on the subject.

last I heard lisp was a programming language - the best programming
language.
