This is just impossible, unless may be you have as much money and  
power as the chinese government.
What you want to do is layer 7 firewalling: ie. looking into the HTTP  
transmitted, determine if it comes from orkut (directly or via a  
proxy), and block accordingly. You might want to known: even this  
won't work if the client uses HTTPS to connect to the proxy/ 
anonymizer (in that case, HTTP transfer is encrypted, and you can't  
eavesdrop the http content.)
