If you want an interface that is easier to use than editing squid's conf
file, there are several front ends to choose from. You could start with
squidguard
You probably want to stay away from directly using iptables for this, as
blocking site access based on ip address gets you into very big amounts
of trouble very quickly. Think virtual hosting here.
