Use a HTTP proxy such as Squid and only allow traffic to port 80 from the
proxy.
This has other advantages such as faster response time for cached objects,
general filtering (e.g. if your policy says people aren't allowed to download
anything with a .vbs extension) and will save you money if you pay by the byte
(or if you pay for pipe size and the traffic reduction means you don't need
such a large pipe).
