After recieving lots of emails regarding SRV records issue in Google Apps, i finally tried that in myeslf……unfortunately thats true that Google has missing info. about SRV records.
As per refering to official Google’s help here .
It has missing info. about the location servers.
Here are those missing SRV records…
_xmpp-client._tcp.YOURDOMAIN.TLD. IN SRV 5 0 5222 talk.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.YOURDOMAIN.TLD. IN SRV 20 0 5222 talk1.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.YOURDOMAIN.TLD. IN SRV 20 0 5222 talk2.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.YOURDOMAIN.TLD. IN SRV 20 0 5222 talk3.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.YOURDOMAIN.TLD. IN SRV 20 0 5222 talk4.l.google.com.
so finally saying…..just forget everything and have these SRV records to get your domain’s Gtalk working from external IM services…
I created a public G.docs spreadsheet here for easy viewing.
Feel free to post for any issues…

Thanks for this! Could you translate to what Enom offers for it’s SRV Editing each in the form of a field?:
[Services] [Protocol} [Priority] [Weight] [Port] [Target (Hostname)]
Much appreciated!
Hello Steve
i do remember we tried to setup srv for GApps for our clisearch project, don’t know why it didn’t wrked. eNom has a really terrible dns form.
my advise – use editDns – http://editdns.net or try sitelutions beta – http://beta.sitelutions.com
both are wonderful dns hosts and free too
hope that will help.
Hey Anurag,
Thanks for the great spreadsheet. I noticed a lot of my customers having problems getting Google Apps to Federate. I ended up writing a script to help them check their SRV Records:

Should help people out as well,
Cheers,

That’s nice Ben
Thanks for sharing link. Infact that will help other Google Apps users also to verify their srv’s.
