You set the domain to *gmail.com* (since your email address is
"foo at gmail.com", not "foo at talk.google.com"), and you set the *Connect
Server* to "talk.google.com", as the very next entry in our FAQ
(http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Protocol%20Specific%20Questions#HowdoIconfigurePidgintoconnecttoGoogleTalkformydomainhostedonGoogleApps)
suggests.

I misspoke when I said "SOHO".  I meant your home router, which is buggy
and doesn't handle a specific type of DNS lookup often necessary for XMPP.
