You can definitely do that, but most people that use paid service providers for email usually own their own domain as well, so they will reconfigure their dns records from Google Works info to the new provider
If you don't have a domain and only want to get rid of gmail forwarding is the way to go
If I happen to have a domain, but only have a free tier of gmail can I still do the DNS recognition you mentioned?
