It is, you should have your DNS records set up (substitute gmail.com
for your domain) like this:
_xmpp-client._tcp.gmail.com. 660 IN	SRV	5 0 5222 talk.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.gmail.com. 660 IN	SRV	20 0 5222 talk1.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.gmail.com. 660 IN	SRV	20 0 5222 talk2.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.gmail.com. 660 IN	SRV	20 0 5222 talk4.l.google.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.gmail.com. 660 IN	SRV	20 0 5222 talk3.l.google.com.

This is pretty much how you will already have had to set up your SRV
records for _xmpp-server to get other servers to be able to talk to
yours. A very quick search found
http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?answer=34143 describing
how to set up the server connections for Google Apps domains, but I
didn't immediately find a page describing setting up the client
connections. Possibly I didn't look hard enough.
