First bond the cable shield to earth at the entry point in both buildings.
Second use a Tripplite DNET-1 at both buildings. make sure you have a single

I am in the chicago area, and have towers and locations that have ethernet
cables running up to radios. We use this meathod, and don't have problems.
Worst we had after last night's T-storm was a site with out power :-)
