Cisco ASA URL filtering

First off let me start with I work with a school system, so I do the bare minimum w/ ASA configuration.

Apparently, different services/companies are starting to use systems w/ CDN so IP addresses change and I can no longer just white-list IP w/ ports. I have to do URL w/ ports. (URL filtering?)

I've been doing my research but having a hard time understanding how to get this all setup. I have a Cisco 5525, and manage it was Cisco ASDM 7.1, I went into -> URL Filtering Services -> selected "Secure Computing SmartFilter Port: 4005" Servers are set to: Inside my internal DNS server, timeout 30, protocol TCP and TCP connections 5.

I haven't done anything else..  I need help, Do have to configure anything on my local DNS? Where to I add the URL's ?
Any help at all is very greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!
Best,
Ron

bbao, so you're saying the company should still be able to give me IP's to white-list? Thanks.

netcmh, that regex blockex looks confusing to setup, what are SCS or Websense? Are these actual servers within my environment that I'll have to spin up and add URLs too?

PeteLong, we're a school system and I need something easy to manage this because I'd be working with this system probably only .05% of my time. Sounds like it would make the most sense to upgrade asap to a stronger asa that has built in URL filtering for ease of use?

Thank you all!
