How to verify your domain for GooGle Apps using bind

Damn, dudes from google didnt write howto for verification via bind nameserver.
It`s very very easy, just use @ as record name
Example:

am2# cat randomthemes.com
$ORIGIN .
$TTL 3600       ; 1 hour
randomthemes.com           IN SOA  ns1.randomthemes.com. root.randomthemes.com. (
                                2012052404 ; serial
                                3600       ; refresh (1 hour)
                                900        ; retry (15 minutes)
                                604800     ; expire (1 week)
                                3600       ; minimum (1 hour)
                                )
                        NS      ns1.randomthemes.com.
                        NS      ns2.randomthemes.com.
                        NS      ns3.randomthemes.com.
                        A       87.242.73.112
                        MX      1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
                        MX      5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
                        MX      5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
                        MX      10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
                        MX      10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.

$ORIGIN randomthemes.com.
*                       CNAME   randomthemes.com.
www                     A       87.242.73.112

@       IN      TXT     "google-site-verification=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

It`s working o.k.!

  1. Thank you so much.
    I edit my domain file just like you did, and google verification went OK. In my case I did this because my domain use to forward some email to gmail and google servers delay the emails…
    Hope this helps.
    Greets.
