squid

If you want an interface that is easier to use than editing squid's conf 
file, there are several front ends to choose from. You could start with 
squidguard

You probably want to stay away from directly using iptables for this, as 
blocking site access based on ip address gets you into very big amounts 
of trouble very quickly. Think virtual hosting here.
