Hi Jim

You don't. You redirect some or all services (mail, calender, web site) of your domain to an account at Google Apps:

  https://www.google.com/a/

We have a test domain running, and here you can see the associated DNS records. Because GMail is a huge system, the MX recordings are extensive; normally you will have only one or two MX records. Note that the value of an MX record _never_ can be an IP address, it must be a host name:

cactusdata.dk	NS	3600	 -	ns1.unoeuro.com	
cactusdata.dk	NS	3600	 -	ns2.unoeuro.com	
cactusdata.dk	MX	3600	1	ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM	  
cactusdata.dk	MX	3600	5	ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM	  
cactusdata.dk	MX	3600	5	ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM	  
cactusdata.dk	MX	3600	10	ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM	  
cactusdata.dk	MX	3600	10	ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM	  
cactusdata.dk	MX	3600	10	ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM	  
cactusdata.dk	MX	3600	10	ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM	  
kal.cactusdata.dk	CNAME	3600	 -	ghs.google.com	  
post.cactusdata.dk	CNAME	3600	 -	ghs.google.com	  
www.cactusdata.dk	CNAME	3600	 -	ghs.google.com

How do you resolve the email address so it reads:

george at GeorgesDomain.com 

...instead of...

george at gmail.com 

?
