With a properly configured firewall you wouldn't run into a problem,
that said -- the hostnames you list appear to be CNAMES for
googleapis.l.google.com, so that's what you really need to look at. 

If you do a whois on the IPnumber returned for that hostname you'll
see the network block and can configure your firewall accordingly. In
my region -- I suspect this varies region-by-region -- I'm seeing
them using IPnumbers out of two blocks. 

They appear to have a 5m TTL on googleapis.l.google.com, so that's
the frequency that you'd want to check in order to build up a list of
their blocks. There is also a 1hr TTL on the CNAMEs so you might want
to watch that to see if they change things there too. I think you
need to use the "-debug" flag on nslookup to see the current TTL
value. A better lookup tool is "dig".
