PIX 515E: blocks access to external sites

We recently had an internal problem with the staff to access some Web sites of 'social' in the office. My supervisor asked me if we can easily block access to these types of sites using our current hardware. Is it possible or will we need to acquire another device?

Thank you.

I agree with the previous poster. But if you have only a few of these 'social' sites, you could do with your current PIX w/o too much administrative burden.

Use DNS (nslookup) to find the IP address of the sites you want blocked and create an ACL and apply to the inside interface. You'll be in charge yourself to ensure that you keep the ACL is updated.

or...............

If you have a router Cisco IOS whereby all related Internet traffic transits, you can create a political and/or the route map map using nbar to match with a URL and everything just black hole / deny traffic.

Here is a sample of 'code red' block by using these methods:
