I don't doubt that he can but he's going to lose his mind trying to do it
unless it's done based on subnet instead of individual IP address, in other
words he's probably going to want to break your internal network into two
zones/IP blocks. One will be allowed full access to the web and the other
will be limited and you move people from one zone to the other by changing
their static IP address.

If that's what he's doing, there is nothing wrong with doing it that way
but it's only as secure as the IP addresses on each machine. If a user can
change his IP he can change his browsing limitations.
