I am wondering if there is a way I can prevent access to certain URLs.

My internet connection is made via RH9 which is firewalling (using
FireStarter) but I would like to prevent access to some websites, preferably
by their URL.

Is this a fairly straightforward task and how do I begin? I looked into
using IPTABLES and DENY but didn't get very far other than DENYing all and
having to reboot!

Many thanks
Richardf
