You can do this in DNS. Set up a Forward Lookup Zone for the domain, IE. myspace.com.

Creat a Host (A) record that point them to the destination server's IP address and use * for the Name.
queries. It doesn't redirect something like myspace.com/whatever so the user will get a "cannot display a webpage" error for those addresses.
A user can get aroumd the redirection by using the IP but this usually isn't very practical as most sites have a multitude of links in their pages that would fail to resolve. User's can get aroung this all by using a proxy server, though most aren't that savvy.
OpenDNS does domain level blocking and proxy site blocking as well. Also has a white list, if some sites get blocked that you want off the catch all block list.
As I said works great and is FREE! without any hardware/software hassles or configuration.
