Thanks. I've seen various suggestions around the place, but none look
workable. What other ports would I need to block to block kazaa/kazaa
lite?

I realise that this isn't a squid question now, but I thought somebody might
know.

Hiya,

You're right that KaZaa and KaZaa Lite are difficult to block. We
have some software called Browse Control
(http://www.browsecontrol.com) that does Application blocking very
easily and it'll cover what you need to do. Just drop in the
application to be blocked and it will be unable to open. No worrying
about server/port blocking etc. It is also very affordable so check it
out!
