Google Apps and your own domain

If you've used Google Apps to add Gtalk to your own domain, you might have trouble seeing IMified hosted bots and other non-Gmail Jabber accounts. To enable chat outside of the Google Talk network, you need to make some DNS changes for your domain.

Google provides detailed instructions for how to do this. Once you've added these DNS entries, you'll be able to contact outside Jabber servers, including those that house IMified bots.
