Restricting Internet Access

Hi,

I am running a symantec vpn200 firewall placed along the perimeter of the network. Is there any way for me to set up the firewall to allow only certain computers access to a selected couple of internet sites? I am able to set up access restrictions via access filters in the firewall by disabling ports. However I am only able to disable internet access completely rather than specifying some sites that I want to allow. I have also tried to solve this through windows group policy but I was unable to find a way to disable internet through this method.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Most programmable firewalls can deny access to external IP addresses. Find out how to do that with your firewall and replace the IP address with the FQDN of the web site you want to deny...or restrict the IP of that web site. For more general restriction such as all .com or .su, you might need to get another device as a content filter or web proxy.
