How do you setup SPF and DKIM records in DNS?

I use Google Apps for my mail and the instructions there do not include how this should be setup for Site 5 unfortunately. I created two TXT records as such to get around this, but I cannot be sure that...

FYI,

IF you do decide on a wildcard SSL certificate to protect all domains like http://www.acme.com and forum.acme.com, etc. You should know that you will need to do the following:

1) create each domain as a separate account
2) Have a static IP for each domain
3) Get your wildcard SSL installed on each domain.

Since i learnt this the hard way, thought someone else may benefit from it.

Using the TXT record type, it all works. I was also able to validate it, and for anyone else that may need help, here are some instructions:

Thanks, but this is in regards to the MX records. I have this setup and working just fine.

I want to setup SPF and DKIM (http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=178723) and there is no mention of that in the articles you linked to here.
