If it's a small number of websites, then block them with an ACL at the router. If you're talking about porn sites, the list is constantly growing and you'll never keep up with the ist. You'll only get this to work if you get a third party application to do this. Websense seems to be the most popular one to enforce Corporate Policy. More info can be found at:

I've experienced similar problems and have had nothing but success with adding an entry to the lmhost like:
www.porno.net 127.0.0.1 #PRE

get the length right and you can use this to redirect all attempts to the loopback or put in a different ip (like the one to www.fbi.gov - 63.240.144.17)

That usually deters them.

Good luck, 0bytes
