Hello,

Thank you for contacting the Google Talk Team. We understand that it is
sometimes necessary to disable instant messaging services on a network. If
you need to disable Google Talk on your network, we suggest blocking DNS
lookups to talk.google.com, by returning 127.0.0.1.

If we can be of further assistance, please respond to this message and a
member of the Google Talk Team will respond to you shortly.

Sincerely,

The Google Team

Paul
