I understand that the ideal setup has th...Hi Chuck,<br />I understand that the ideal setup has the "A" record and a "CNAME" record (like "www", for example) both pointing to "ghs.google.com". Did I get that right?<br /><br />In this article you said that one solution would be to use GoDaddy as the registrar. I'm using GoDaddy but, from what I can tell, they only allow IP addresses with "A" records. How does using GoDaddy as my registrar provide a solution?<br /><br />You mention 4 Google (Apps?) servers by IP address in other articles, but I'm uncomfortable using those because they're not documented by Google and could be changed or brought down at any time.<br /><br />Currently, I have my "www" alias pointing to "ghs.google.com" and "@" as an "A" record pointing to GoDaddy's forwarding server IP address (64.202.189.170). I've set up GoDaddy's forwarding to send requests for my domain to the "www" alias with a 301 redirect. In another article, you identified this as a bad idea. Since it's not pointing at a single Google server, why is this a problem?<br /><br />Everything's working right now, but I do have the "The DNS record for your domain is not set up correctly yet." message in the Publishing settings for my blog. Searching for information about that message led me to your blog.<br /><br />Here are my dig results:<br />ghodmode.com. 3600 IN A 64.202.189.170<br />www.ghodmode.com. 3600 IN CNAME ghs.google.com.<br />ghs.google.com. 330898 IN CNAME ghs.l.google.com.<br />ghs.l.google.com. 142 IN A 74.125.53.121<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />--<br />-- VinceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-9170448014000789932008-04-18T17:06:00.000-07:002008-04-18T17:06:00.000-07:00Dan,I'm flattered.
