If I understand correctly, you want to allow computers within the network
access to one domain only. In this case you could set up your own dns
(i've no idea what this would take) and point the computers on the network
to that dns for name resolution. But this way, they could still go to
addresses directly, or someone may change the dns (I know I would)
Maybe that'll give you some ideas, but a firewall is probably what you need.
dns is only name resolution.
