I am planning to install a web based application on one of my terminal
servers. I want the application to be able to use Internet Explorer (6), but
do not want any users accessing the internet from the server. Can I manage
this throuh group policy? How?

You can also restrict internet access via the registry or IE's proxy
settings on the Internet Options...Connect tab, LAN settings button. Set it
to use a non-existent proxy server and then lock out access to the Internet
Options via the registry setting "NoBrowserOptions" below. Corresponding
registry entries re the proxy settings are also below..

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings]
"MigrateProxy"=dword:00000001
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
These settings enable the use of a proxy server.

"ProxyServer"="http://ProxyServername:80"
Contains the address of the Proxy server. Since we want to block web
access, just fill this in with a few random characters.

"ProxyOverride"
Use this setting if there are websites that you want your users to have
access to. Addresses should be separated by a semicolon (;).

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions]
"NoBrowserOptions"=dword:00000001
This setting prevents users from opening "Internet Options" and
changing the Proxy settings back to default.

Other restrictions you may find useful are in this article:
