Hey all one option would be to enable ratings in IE on the client machines.
You then enter the list of approved sites in the 'Approved Sites' list, then password protect the options in the 'general' tab. Your mileage may vary, but it's a start on the way to what you want. restricted sites won't block the site, they'll just have less functionality in terms of scripting etc. Another option is to set up your 'hosts' file on the client computers with a list of sites you don't want them to have access to and map the web-site name to the local machine. The success of this method will depend on how the computers connect to the internet. have a look at the following site for more information: http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/ The site contains just about all you need to know about using the hosts file as a site blocking tool and provides links to files that contain thousands of sites that have been deemed either offensive or ad-serving by many individual Netizens.
