Hi All,

I got this to work fairly easy the first thing to do is ensure Google apps for your domain is working properly and I’m sure most of you already have this setup properly and just want to add the additional functionality of having a MSN/AIM transport using google talk with google apps for your domain.

So the first thing that is really important is to add the DNS SRV Jabber records for Google talk to your domain my webhost is dreamhost they have a fairly easy way of doing this, if you have questions please feel free to post them here.

_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 5 0 5269 xmpp-server.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server1.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server2.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server3.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server4.l.google.com.
_jabber._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 5 0 5269 xmpp-server.l.google.com.
_jabber._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server1.l.google.com.
_jabber._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server2.l.google.com.
_jabber._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server3.l.google.com.
_jabber._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server4.l.google.com.

Note: replace gmail.com with your domain ie. mydomain.com

After I updated the records I waited for about 24 hours (the usual) and I went ahead and connected with psi to google talk (please read note bellow) once I did that I went to services but I was unable to discover any services, so I had to manually specify a server I used msn.jabber.cd.chalmers.se which had support for msn and then all of the popups requested authorization from my msn contacts popped-up I accepted them all, closed psi client and logged in with google talk and there where my new contacts from MSN.

Note: to all of you using dreamhost please note that dreamhost also runs a jabber service, however if you want to use the one offered by google in your client (pidging/psi/gaim/adium/etc) you must specify the google servers and no the one in dreamhost it happened to me that I entered my logging info into the psi client and it automatically connected me to the one in my domain and not google this was because psi auto-detected my domain and configured itself for it so watch out.

Hope this helps you all, I also did some name formating for the contacts using the built-in address book in gmail.
