Put the disallowed addresses into your /etc/hosts file and associate those addresses with whatever you want them to resolve to.
Hmm... that sure looks simple enough. :-) I'll give it a try, thanks!
Best, :-) Marko

/etc/hosts is local DNS server. It does not work when http://1.2.3.4/xxx is used. You need iptables/PREROUTING/redirect? rules for that.
Also, I think you will need some kind of http server, at least like lighttpd.

Yes, it turns out that /etc/hosts doesn't handle all requirements that I asked for.
Shouldn't there be a firefox plugin, or something similar, that would take care of all this? I cannot believe that "parental control software" is something so uncommon... :-)

This assertion is not reliable, unless you did it intentionally? Results brought by googles are not the same here and there..

then open Add-on in Firefox and search for "parental control". You will get 9 options to choose from.
If you run CentOS on Desktop system, use Firefox 9.0.1 from Remi's repository. It is several times faster then 3.x versions, even 30% faster then 8.0.
I initially wrote all mentioned options but deleted them since you asked for solution for entire system. What is kid uses Konqueror? you then have to uninstall all other browsers.
