With squid, you can redirect a web page to a totally different page.  I 
did help a company redirect specific "blue web sites" to 
http://www.sexualrecovery.com/ and http://newlifehabits.com/  It was 
kind of twisted, but very funny! :)

However, squid is a but hard from scratch.  I would think 
http://dansguardian.org/ or http://www.untangle.com/ would be an easier 
setup.
