    What exactly do you want to do? Google is not offering their hosting...

    Or do you want your blogspot to point on your dreamhost domain??

    I think you should add a cname record point to ghs.google.com for your domain. Have you add this?

    Adding CNAME records to your Dreamhost-hosted DNS domain

    You can add CNAME records to your domain in the Dreamhost Control Panel, under Domains->Manage Domains->DNS.

    This can be useful if you run servers outside of Dreamhost and you would like to direct additional names to those machines.

    It should be noted that for hostnames, you should use an A record, not a CNAME. A CNAME, or alias, is appropriate for additional names that refer to that same host, as in the example above.

    A 301 will do the trick. :)

    Just browse to the Apache section, you'll find a lot of solutions there. ;)

    its pretty simple just use 66.249.81.121 instead gns.google.com. Btw it is not gns.google.com - it is ghs.google.com.

    Sorry for one minor correction.
    You DON'T have to change the name servers to point to google.
    Just change the A-Record (DNS) to ghs.google.com OR 72.14.207.121 (works for me!) OR 66.249.81.121
    And then change the CNAME 'www' also to ghs.google.com
    That should do the trick!. I have done it for badlybruised.com
    Rep if it works ;)
