Filtering new KaZaa!!!

Hi Guys!!!
 
I am trying to block KaZaa using access lists, I read many
tips like blocking port 1214, block the Morpheus network, but
with the latest version of KaZaa it seems that not work, why?
Let me explain...
I have Kazaa Media Desktop 2.0 (Built: Friday, September 20,
2002 16:14:03), a Network Protocol Analyzer (Ethereal Version
0.9.7) and a Cisco Catalyst 6509 (IOS MSFC2 Software C6MSFC2-
IS-M Version 12.1 E4)

1) Running the sniffer and then starting Kazaa I found that
the first contact with its server is a dns query for
"www.altnetp2p.com <http://www.altnetp2p.com> " (217.116.227.249), that has an alias
named "media.altnet.com", then I blocked any traffic to that
target with the following access-list and then applied to the
interface:
 
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 217.116.227.249
access-list 100 permit ip any any
 
interface Vlan12
 ip access-group 100 in
 
 
Then the client still conect to Kazaa but the initial dektop
was down.
 
2) Flushing my dns cache (ipconfig /flushdns) and then rerun
the sniffer and then Kazaa, we found that when the client can
not get any response from "www.altnetp2p.com <http://www.altnetp2p.com> "
(217.116.227.249) try for "desktop.kazaa.com"
(217.116.226.13, 217.116.226.11, 217.116.226.12) and have the
alias "rr1.kazaa.com", then I block it too:
 
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 217.116.227.249
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 217.116.226.11
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 217.116.226.12
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 217.116.226.13
access-list 100 permit ip any any
 
And again the client still conect to Kazaa.
 
3) Again I load the sniffer and then the client and I see a
dns query for "www.cms1.net <http://www.cms1.net> " (209.73.225.7) and for
"servedby.advertising.com" (209.225.0.6) with the following
conections:
 
http://209.73.225.7/scripts/cms/CmsInit.ASP?ID=200101&D2=%3F% 
<http://209.73.225.7/scripts/cms/CmsInit.ASP?ID=200101&D2=%3F%> 
3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%40%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3
F%3F%3F%3F&AW=291&LV=3210&CU=22068156
 
I have the following output from the browser, I do not know
what is this?
DATA_OK W_STR [C=101][V=] W_STR [C=103][V=] W_STR [C=100][V=]
W_STR [C=102][V=] W_STR [C=104][V=] W_INT [C=33][V=22068156]

I got a file with a link that target some kind of ad-ware:
http://servedby.advertising.com/site=0000094237/mnum=00000742 
<http://servedby.advertising.com/site=0000094237/mnum=00000742> 
13/genr=1/logs=0/mdtm=1033158880/bins=1/optn=1 border=0
width=468 height=60 alt='Click to learn more...'
I block the traffic to this targets:
 
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 217.116.227.249
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 217.116.226.11
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 217.116.226.12
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 217.116.226.13
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 209.73.225.7
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 209.225.0.6
access-list 100 permit ip any any
 
But the client still connect to the server... and also have
adware???

4) Once again I run the sniffer and Kazaa, and something interesting
come on this session, I have a set of request to 5 servers via UDP,
at this point I tried to restrict the traffic to that address but
again appears other 5 server with differently address, and again,
and again and again..., I have a access-list of more 20 lines with this
servers and always appears new servers, but I noticed that all
request was made from the port 2210 of my box, then I restrict the
sessions in UDP from this port to any server:
 
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 217.116.227.249
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 217.116.226.11
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 217.116.226.12
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 217.116.226.13
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 209.73.225.7
access-list 100 deny   ip any host 209.225.0.6
access-list 100 deny   udp any eq 2210 any
access-list 100 permit ip any any
 
And YEEEEESSSSSS!!!! but not... the client shoots to all the servers,
all with differents port, only 3 with the famous 1214 port and also
a server with port 23 listening??? neither a selectable range of
ports to filter, nothing ...and the client still get connected,
but this time is noticeable a great delay to connect

At this time my last attempt was filter any ip conection to
that address, I finished with a access-list of near 100 lines but
via tcp new addresses appears, and as I said before there is not
a defined range of ports to try to filter, and the client still
get connected!!!
What happened??? This is like the client have a list with a lot
of servers to try to connect!!! If somebody have any idea please
let me know I will be very happy.
