Set web address managed with Google apps to redirect to an external website


I have a domain (email, calendar etc.) that is managed with Google Apps.

I want that when user accesses the naked domain name (i.e. mydomain.com or www.mydomain.com), it should redirect to a website stored in Windows Azure.

Now here is what I see when trying to do this via Windows Azure:

You can point custom domain names to your Windows Azure web sites. Windows Azure must verify that you are authorized to configure the custom domain name to point to your Windows Azure web site. To verify authorization, create a CNAME resource record with your DNS provider that points from either www.yourdomain.com to mydomain.azurewebsites.net, or from awverify.www.mydomain.com to awverify.mydomain.azurewebsites.net.
