Actually, you can use Browse Control to block KazaA.
You can download this from: www.browsecontrol.com
As you say KazAa can port hop and so no use just blocking any ports,
Browse Control will actually stop Kazaa from being launched at the
client end...even if the user renames it to something else, Browse
Control looks at the internal name of the application so he cannot get
around this!
