And now i want to block youtube on my network.

It can be done with iptables however it's not for the faint of heart. I did some reading about it on a dd-wrt website and it wasn't something I found as an easy solution to a single problem such as this.

However, blocking by name string leaves open the ipaddress approach so you have to do both things and this isn't something easily maintained.

May I respectfully suggest that the problem isn't at the iptables level but at the user level? A simple "You do it, you're cut off." rule is more effective and would move the responsibility from you and the system software to those managing the users.
