Yes,but at the same moment google.com.qa was pointing to something More
Nasty. The correct MX pointing to google.com.qa seems to be

google.com.qa.          10800   IN      MX      10
google.com.s9a2.psmtp.com.
google.com.qa.          10800   IN      MX      10
google.com.s9b1.psmtp.com.
google.com.qa.          10800   IN      MX      10
google.com.s9b2.psmtp.com.
google.com.qa.          10800   IN      MX      10
google.com.s9a1.psmtp.com.
