Google’s SRV records

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…
