This type of filtering may be a dead end, but in conjunction with a policy
statement of intent to fire anyone caught doing anything to bypass the
restrictions, can be quite effective.

People get caught by the logging. For this type of filtering I used a
shell script, written by a friend, that logged seperately all access to
"banned sites", and this generally picked people up, even if they did find
the odd site that wasn't blocked.

I used to run a blocking proxy for a Hall of Residence, where we had a
computer room, and simply the user account was disabled, and they were
summoned to the "Warden" for a LARTing, and appropriate time bans from the
systems.

Oh, God is playing marbles,                  
With His Planets and his Stars,              35 Auld Burn Park,
Creating havoc through my life,              St Andrews,
With his influence on Mars ...               Fife,
