Yes.

* Does the content filter speak WCCPv2? Or can you glue it to Squid?
  If so, try WCCPv2.

* Otherwise, see if your platform/IOS supports object tracking and
  conditional route maps. You can set things up to use a route-map
  (or route!) if a destination host is reachable via ICMP.

  The archives have details on both of these.
