I see where you are going with this. Makes sense. So...when I get a domain name (e.g. hockey.com), I have to put an entry somewhere that maps www.hockey.com to the my heroku app (hockey.heroku.com), and I need another entry that maps mail.hockey.com to the google URL.
Suppose that I buy hockey.com. Do I have to do it through Google Apps and then have www.hockey.com point to hockey.heroku.com, or do I have hockey.com at Google and then have mail.hockey.com point to mail.google.com? I'm confused...
