[BlueOnyx:11036] Re: Google Apps Cname Problem

[MuntadaNet Webmaster]

I have done this many times before.  They aren't giving you all the 
proper information.  The cname should point to 
ghs.google.com.  ghs.google.com examines the original http request 
and knows what to present to the end user if your customer has 
correctly done what they were supposed to do.
