Yeah .. Google is notorious for trying to send everything into the same 
domain -- trying to make our lives difficult.

Right now, I'm trying snort with REACT actions based on their SSL 
certificate fingerprint. Preventing the key exchange would prevent the 
session setup.

I just need to see if that'd block Gmail as well.
