Thank you for the more detailed answer. I still consider this Google's responsibility however. I bought the domain using google tools. They chose eNom as the provider & so should have detailed instructions on how to do this with eNom.
the Knoll page I sent actually says to remove all the A records from the eNom config page. Is that right?
