For three interfaces (inside, outside, DMZ) you will need a minimum of a PIX 515.

A PIX can be configured as a DHCP server, but not as DNS.

You can specify DNS servers on a PIX. I think you can set it up to be a DHCP client, but I would NOT recommend it.

To do URL filtering, you would configure the PIX to work in conjuction with a dedicated server running web-sense. You can specify which IP's are filtered or not. You can statically block IP's on a PIX (it would not be a firewall if you couldn't), but this is not practicle for URL filtering. All reporting would be done by the web-sense server.
