After recieving lots of emails regarding SRV records issue in Google Apps I must say that Google has missing info in their documentation 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…

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. Feel free to post for any issues.
