Experiment: Living Without A Home Internet Connect...
I've just been using my hosts file for the same effect, but this sound like a more elegant solution.

I use a combination of SelfControl.app, my hosts file and OpenDNS content filtering. I need 3 layers of protection.

Actually it's only 2 layers of protection, as SelfControl.app just appends things to the hosts file.

I'm not entirely sure how it works, but SelfControl is resilient to you manually editing the host file while it's running. I know it runs a daemon and I'm not sure if it just keeps the host file updated or if it has a secondary blocking method.
