I think you'll be fighting a losing battle trying this with normal filters. There are proxies that will tunnel kaazaa etc over port 80.. some new p2p specifically work over port 80 to get round firewall blocks.
Because it's peer to peer, blocking addreses isnt really an option.. you'd have a rather long deny list. surfcontrol have a filter that may be worth a look at: http://www.surfcontrol.com/products/im/IM_datasheet.pdf although I doubt it would be viable for small networks. Its certainly a problem that needs to be addresses.. kazaa & others can quite literally bring a dsl connection to a standstill with a default configuration. would be interested to hear others approach to the problem.

Does anyone have a methodology that has been effective to do this? Does anyone have a list of IP addresses we can block access to that will help? Will a content filtering subscription successfully block these, or only help prevent download of the apps?
