One option to consider is using DNS resolver that serves internal
clients to force video.yahoo.com to resolve to a private IP address,
route that known and fixed IP address to a specific firewall, and then
NAT it back to video.yahoo.com(if the firewall has such a capability,
or build some automation to change the address now and then). May
interfere with the CDN they use or not. Just a thought, not field
tested for this particular URL.
