This sounds more like a DNS question to me. IPtables / netfilter will certainly not help with this, as that simply blocks some packets which would otherwise have been routed - I like to regard netfilter as "a router which can say no". The question I would ask about what you want to do is "what high-level protocols are you trying to do this for?" ie http, ftp, smtp, pop3...? If you are only talking about http, then Squid + redirects may be to answer. If not (and perhaps even if you are), then DNS is probably the answer.
