I have an XMPP (Jabber) application which talks to jabber servers.

It works great with accounts on gmail.com, but does not work at all with accounts on Google Apps hosted web sites.

Google says this is because special SRV records need to be created for Google Apps domains which point the XMPP service directly at the Google XMPP servers, ref:

However, I can't ask each user to add these 10 SRV records to their domain.

Is there a way that I can configure my server, either through DNS or firewall, or some other means, to use Google's XMPP server for all domains? This would have the effect of making REAL jabber servers not work, but it would allow ALL Google Apps domains to interoperate with my program.

Did you try substituting the SRV records from the point of view of your server using /etc/hosts ? Either it works, or the protocol / google's implementation defends against that and you'll have no choice but to add the records to public DNS.
