title: How can my xmpp app federate with Google Apps users without having them create SRV records?
body: <p>I have an application that uses Prosody and XMPP to communicate with Google Talk users.  I want the app to be able to communicate with Goole Apps users, but according to this document:</p>

  <p>having Google Apps users talk to any xmpp client outside of @gtalk.com requires creating SRV records.</p>
  
  <p>My question is:  How can my app talk to Google Apps users /without/ requiring them to create DNS records for their domain?  (This is highly technical and no one does this.)</p>
  
  <p>Is there some way to trick my server into talking to Google's XMPP server instead of looking for a non-existent XMPP endpoint?  </p>
  
  <p>This may require a creative solution.. hosts file, firewalls, special DNS settings... anything?   Is it possible??</p>
