You can't redirect with DNS like that. All of those requests go through a load balancer (probably the same one minus some anycast routing), which then decides what service to show based on the HTTP Host header. You can quickly verify this by looking up mail.google.com via DNS and putting that IP into your browser bar, which will redirect to google.com instead of opening Gmail.
