That unfortunately lasts until the address gets changed. But doing some
traffic traces, I realize that whenever iTunes went out to get a list of
radio stations, or stream, etc., It made an http connection with that iTunes
user agent. So, if you block that, it should work even if the address gets
changed, ports get changed, etc.
