I haven't tried mapping a domain name to Google search website yet. However, the standard in domain forwarding is that you can use any CNAME info, and then put the destination domain (in this case, Google.com) DNS information into your desired domain's name server host name fields. I am not sure if Google has a mechanism that blocks external domains forwarding to their website.

I've found that their name servers are:

ns3.google.com
ns2.google.com
ns1.google.com
ns4.google.com

If you will try forwarding your domain to Google, let us know the results.

The exact CNAME depends on what part of the site you would like to redirect/delegate to google. For instance if you want to to redirect "calendar.your-domain.com" you should create the following CNAME record:

CNAME: ghs.google.com
host: calendar.your-domain.com

The example above is using the standard settings for Google Apps. However in some occasions you may have to enter something else instead of "ghs.google.com" and it is recommended to always check the correct settings with Google before creating your CNAME

Hey there m3zooms, sorry for the late response. Generally what Martin said is true, but you can also point your mail to Google Apps by creating custom MX records. Here are some help pages from Google:

Hope this helps you get the idea :)
