    A better question is why would you want to do this?

    Are you looking to spoof a connection for your local users?

    No, just believed it would be a simple form of content filtering.

    If you want to filter where people are going setup a proxy server and ensure that all http(s) traffic goes through it.

    Yes, linux has proxy software.

    Squid seems to be a popular one that you should be able to find documentation on for setting it up.
