SPF Help with Google Apps Premiere and Postini

All,

I just recently upgraded my Google Apps accounts from Standard to Premiere Edition. Before doing so I removed my existing SPF record as I saw several caveats when using SPF records with this setup. Most notably, there is a Google Support page at http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?answer=96820. Although the instructions seem simple enough, there is a note at the end that I also need to add my own domain's IP allocations. Problem is, how do I determine this? As far as I can tell Google does not issue individual IP addresses for each domain. If I ping mail.mydomain.com I do get an IP address, but I do not know whether or not this is what I should use, or use another address or a range of addresses.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

I think they just mean for you to add any other IP addresses for servers that send mail (internal, web, etc.).

Duh! That would make too much sense, wouldn't it? Leave it to me to make a simple matter complex! :-)
