You already have a list of domains, so put this into a dstdomain type
ACL.

Then use the deny_info_url patch to Squid-2.5 to set up deny_info to
redirect the requests to a small image..

You might get away without the deny_info stuff, but some sites using
layers etc can screw up if receiving a error message rather than a
image..
