Progress.. Isn't it a wonderful thing?

Well, we are making progress.  After a good deal of trial and error, DNS has been pulled back to Network Solutions(1) and all of the entries look the way they should.  It took a bit of hunting through the Google Apps documentation.  But, I finally figured out what names and addresses to use.  Then, as I punched the button to activate the changes on the google side of things... all the information I needed was presented to me as they walked me through the process.  (So much for trying to plan ahead...)

So, now it's time for the waiting game while DNS servers around the world (or at least around my neighborhood) have their cache timeout and the updates go into affect.

(1) I know, I know... I'm using the most expensive registrar...  This will be remedied the next time the domain is getting close to renewal time.  After the Wilbur Child was born, I registered the domain for an insane number of years.  That either has, or is about to, expire.  When that happens, I'll spend time looking at the other registrars to find the best deal (price*ease-of-use*reliability).
