Subdomains for Google Apps

[GoWilkes]

I have a hosting client that uses Google Apps. Getting the email to work was no problem, but now they're wanting to access their old features by subdomain. Like:

http://docs.mydomain.com
http://mail.mydomain.com

And so on.

Is there an easier way to do this, other than manually creating subdomains to redirect to https://docs.google.com/a/mydomain.com, etc?

TIA,

Jason

I generally add the following entries in the DNS zone file for the domain:

 mail IN CNAME ghs.google.com.
docs IN CNAME ghs.google.com.

and so on...

You shouldn't need to create the sub-domains manually.

I generally add the following entries in the DNS zone file for the domain:

mail IN CNAME ghs.google.com.
docs IN CNAME ghs.google.com.

and so on...

The above solution to edit the DNS zone (via WHM's DNS Functions) should work without issue to allow the desired sub-domains to be served from the Google Apps service; in addition, the same step of editing the DNS zone may be used for changing the MX records so the domain's mail exchanger (mail server) is also hosted by Google Apps.

That worked perfectly! Thanks, guys,
