Which, by the way, seems logical as i do not host any jabber/xmpp services on my domain neither redirect to gtalk.
A quick google search got me the Google help page How can my users chat outside the Google network with the following table for the DNS entries; replace gmail.com with yourdomain.tld
_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 5 0 5269 xmpp-server.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server1.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server2.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server3.l.google.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server4.l.google.com.
_jabber._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 5 0 5269 xmpp-server.l.google.com.
_jabber._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server1.l.google.com.
_jabber._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server2.l.google.com.
_jabber._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server3.l.google.com.
_jabber._tcp.gmail.com. IN SRV 20 0 5269 xmpp-server4.l.google.com.
I logged in my Plesk 9.x.x. control panel and tried to add the SRV record. The first attempt was a failure, because i tried to paste the whole “_xmpp-server._tcp.gmail.com.” thing into the “Enter domain name” field. You will see that Plesk builds the correct entry itself when you fill in the fields.
Correct Input is:
Service name: 'xmpp-server' // 'jabber'
Protocol: 'TCP'
Enter domain name: ''
Priority: as given above
relative priority '0'
Target Host: as given above
Target Port: 5269
