[THIN] Flash Video - Limiting there of

I am not sure why I had a brain fart but even easier than my other suggestions is to just modify the hosts file on your ts boxes and set video.google.com to point to 127.0.0.1. :)

Block that website with your firewall. That would be an easy fix. If you want to be real funny install a Packeteer box and redirect the google videos dll to www.cdc.gov <http://www.cdc.gov> Also, throttle all video traffic to use something like 1K. It will be so slow they will stop looking at videos.

We limited the use of Windows Media Player on our farm as there
was no workplace justification for it and did not want
memory/cpu/bandwidth wasted on it. Now, folks are going to http://video.google.com and watching video
with the installed Macromedia Player. We recently realized the
ability of the flash component to play video.
How do you prevent this?
