First bond the cable shield to earth at the entry point in both buildings.  
Second use a Tripplite DNET-1 at both buildings.  make sure you have a single 
point ground terminal that everything it bonded to and then that is grounded.

I am in the chicago area, and have towers and locations that have ethernet 
cables running up to radios.  We use this meathod, and don't have problems.  
Worst we had after last night's T-storm was a site with out power :-)
