I have been playing around with Google Apps (google.com/a) and as part of that I am setting up a domain name to point to my Google Apps. During the setup, Google requires that I point the domain name to one of their domain names. For example, they want

www.drduncanchiropractic.com to point to  ghs.google.com

So I pinged ghs.google.com and got the IP to make this:

+www.drduncanchiropractic.com:66.249.81.121:3600

However, I am wondering, is there a way to poing the domain name to another domain name like they requested? In case they change the IP of the domain so that it will always be correctly pointing to whatever IP ghs.google.com is using.

As I have read, using the CNAME option is frowned upon.

Thanks,
Jonathan
