In order for you to talk to GoogleTalk, they have to be able to talk back to you using Dialback. There are several steps you'll need to do:

• Rename your server to a fully-qualified domain name. (e.g. example.com)
• Open a hole in your firewall in both directions to your server on port 5269/tcp.
• Add an SRV record to your DNS pointing at that firewall hole. If your domain was example.com, your SRV might have _xmpp-server._tcp.example.com pointing to 10 0 5269 myserver.example.com.
• At some point in the future, you may also need an X.509 certificate for doing TLS.
