I suppose that DNS has nothin to do with such problem.
ofcourse you _can_ use BIND to disable accessing some sites by DNS names, but
this is not best solution for your problem.  You want to diable _Web_ access to 
some sites, so you shoud use application level filter - HTTP proxy.
You can use squid - it supports ACL's, or buy some software intended to
perform such filtering and contains 'bad' sites list, like TrendMicro's InterScan 
WebManager.
It filters viruses too. (http://www.antivirus.com)
