CNAME Question

[Aperture]

I'm trying to setup Google Apps for my domain and I'm having some trouble making a CNAME entry.

I need to make a mail.mydomain.com CNAME point to Ghs.Google.com.

My hosting server is running Direct Admin and I have the following fields available when I make a new DNS record:

Name / Type / Value

I currently have mail.mydomain.com entered in the name, CNAME in the type, and ghs.google.com in the value. When I perform a CNAME lookup on mail.mydomain.com it yields ghs.google.com.mydomain.com.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Put a . after com, so that the DNS server knows you mean the root of the tree.

After ghs.google.com, mail.mydomain.com, or both?

After ghs.google.com, mail.mydomain.com, or both?

After ghs.google.com should do the trick.
