create host(A) record for facebook.com and point it to 127.0.0.1 or whatever you want

As by your previous q you have juniper, so that should be the solution
As your dns server is not an authoritative server for .com, I don't think you can solve this from dns server

here is one explanation

Personally, I would use the firewall and just outright block it, but the DNS solution is a quick solution as well. I don't know what type of company you're at, but you could talk to HR and get management on board with a policy to block social networking sites as a whole. That way, you will have backup for when people get upset.

Thank you masnrock, I am not looking this for a longtime solution.. I am planning to deploy fortigate as for the time being i wanna manage with DNS records editions. Also i came to knew that juniper SSG's are getting obsolete, no point of spending in that kind of device..

Thank you tech brains..
