You have to either be able to alter the DNS settings (insert a record  
they supply) or add a file to the top level of the webserver. If any  
student of yours is able to do that, you have bigger issues at hand :)

btw, I'm using Google for Domains for my email, too. I disabled the  
chat component, and since they fixed that bug, s2s to Gtalk works fine  
now from my ejabberd 2.0 installation.
