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.
Glue records
These are the mosy fundamental DNS record which actually start with the lookup. Let’s understand how to come in basic scenario…… Observe two sites - harisri.in & anuragbhatia.com There’s a basic difference in terms of DNS in both sites. Nameservers of harisri.in are ns1.anuragbhatia.com & ns2.anuragbhatia.com which belongs to a totaly seprate zone, but nameservers for anuragbhatia.com are ns1.anuragbhatia.com, ns2.anuragbhatia.com & so….. i.e domain is having nameservers which are sub zones of domain itself.
Most of people face issue in using Google sites is redirection……i,e www.domain.com works fine (becoz of presence of cname record) BUT domain.com fails here…… SO lets see the possible ways out to the issue:
use redirection offered by Registrar (eNom, Godaddy, name.com etc…) use redirection offered by third party dns hosts. (only redirection and NOT dns hosting) In this post, i will consider #2 as for #1 instructions are already available (Google for them!
Most of web host state that if you have changed your domain’s name server’s to there’s server then also it will take around 24-48 hours for DNS changes to propagate. That’s not completely true.
Correct sentence would be if you have changed your domain’s name server’s to theirs server then also it might take around 24-48 hours for DNS changes to propagate. Still that’s just a bit of “truth!” What I mean to say it’s just creates a wrong image of DNS working in eyes of a newbie.
Hello all!!! i was just getting lot of queries regarding setup of GApps with external web host. So basically using GApps for email hosting and using a separate web host for Web hosting.
Now we can have this kind of setup in two ways: using DNS hosting of web host using external DNS hosts regarding differences in both i had given here 1st way is quite easy, it just need you to put Google’s mx records at web hosting control panel But you will need #2 in case of following things:
