jabberd, Google Chat, dialback

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello, I am a newcomer to Jabber.
I have just installed jabberd-1.6.1.1
on my Gentoo machine and want to be able
to talk to my friends who use Google Chat through it.

I can talk to jabber.org, but not Google Chat.
The problem seems to be with dialback.
(I tried ejabberd and have the same problem.)

Here is a section of the log (IPs and domains censored):

20071212T13:12:21: [warn] (s2s.scubed.homelinux.com):
received stream error on
outgoing XMPP1.0 conn to 000.000.000.00
(users.jabber.org/scubed.homelinux.com):
hostname is not hosted by the server
20071212T13:12:21: [notice] (users.jabber.org): bouncing a
packet to
users.jabber.org from scubedscubed.homelinux.com/pidgin: Failed to deliver
stanza to other server while sent out dialback request:
000.000.000.00:
Connected (hostname is not hosted by the server)
20071212T13:13:55: [warn] (s2s.scubed.homelinux.com):
Denying peer to use the
domain example.com. Dialback failed (timeout):
<db:result
xmlns:db='jabber:server:dialback' to='example.com'
from='scubed.homelinux.com'
type='invalid'/>

I can't figure out why dialback won't work.
The machine is: scubed.homelinux.com
(Feel free to poke it a bit.)
Ports 5222 and 5269 are open.
What else do I need to get it to talk to Google?
Any ideas on why it won't connect?

  Doesn't gmail only talk to servers which actually have a
signed cert?

Maybe Google Talk doesn't like the fact that your server
uses one of
those "dynamic DNS" services? Typically, dialback
problems are related
to DNS configuration.

I know that you got it to work, but I would like to point
out some  
things I found odd:

  1. the last line quoted above has the domain
'example.com'. Make  
sure you've configured your server correctly and you don't
have that  
in there;
  2. dig srv _xmpp-server._tcp.scubed.homelinux.com returns
a IN  
CNAME result which is very very odd. It seems to me that
your dyndns  
provider returns a CNAME answer for any query that he
doesn't have a  
proper response to. see if you can disable such broken
behaviour.

Best regards,
