And another thing,
I want the users of the computer to be able to still use the Apple
built in firewall, but if my program messes around with the ipfw
command, it makes it so that the apple's built in firewall wont work.
the way little snitch does it is perfect, somehow they accomplish this
without messing with ipfw
I think then I must do a KEXt that wraps around the
IONetworkFamily.kext, or something to that affect

if that address is in this database we have it will allow them to go

At work we are just making this app to restrict others only to work
related sites, so I quickly just want to make this thing. I just
need to know how little snitch, intercepts the http(port 80) request
and then after allowing it, the web browser shows it.
What you want can more easily and reliably done by using a web proxy
with filter abilities and blocking all http ports in and out except
for the web proxy. This is normal way this type of thing is done.
Dropping an KEXT is really the wrong way to go about this...
