You probably don't want to be using DNS to do this.  Users could still
access outside sites using IP addresses, host files, their own DNS cache,
etc.  A better way would be to redirect all HTTP traffic to your own web
server.

To do it the DNS way, setup tinydns on 127.0.0.1 and use this for your data
file (this has 60 second TTLs):

.:127.0.0.1:ns.internal:60
+*:192.168.1.1:60

Then set dnscache to use tinydns for everything:

echo 127.0.0.1 > /service/dnscache/root/servers/@
svc -t /service/dnscache
