Is that entirely true? I log in to talk.google.com as j....@hosteddomain.com, and that has worked ever since Google's Gmail-for-domains was implemented (and I moved my domain over to Gmail).

It might be accurate to say, "Gmail's jabber server's FEDERATION only works for Google-owned domains."

Which doesn't make sense.

But I can log into their jabber server with my Gmail-hosted domain login ID. I had figured that federation might work, but wasn't sure if how the dns-name lookup worked. Since only my MX recort points to Google, there's no way for other Jabber servers to know that I don't have my own server, and that it's really talk.google.com that's backending my account.

Oh, well, didn't know they had started serving jabber to it's customer email domains. In this case, it's a matter of setting up the right DNS information: Contact your registrar and Google directly for more information.
