Blocking Proxy/HTTP Tunneling servers

I am curious to how you guys are handling these outside internet proxies that are allowing students to access websites that you specially block. My situation is we block a few websites via DNS pointing the address to 127.0.0.1. Students can use a number of different sites to access these blocked web addresses. A few examples are www.unipeak.com and www.virtual-browser.com. Do you just get a list of all the ips and web addresses and just add them to your dns and firewall ACLs? Do you use a product like websense to handle all of this at a content level? I hoping there is another way besides blocking each proxy server by ip. I am a huge fan of ACLs on my Cisco ASA5510 but do not want to add several 100s just for this task. Justin Dover Harpeth Hall School 615-346-0082
