SRV records and Google Talk federation
However, I can't seem to match the instructions. The best I can come up with is lines like:
xmpp-server.tcp SRV 5 0 5269 xmpp-server.l.google.com.
Instead of:
xmpp-server.tcp.sandmill.org. IN SRV 5 0 5269 xmpp-server.l.google.com.
That is, what I can create using the dns manager is lacking the ".sandmill.org." string after "_tcp".
Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks!

DNS Manager shouldn't(!) allow you to use the fully qualified version of the records because, in theory, you could add "
