This is not really possible - all App Engine (or any webapp) sees is
the domain you requested - finding out what name you've CNAMEd it to
would require a lookaside, which would degrade performance.

You can provide an easier service for your clients by signing up for
Apps yourself - either once per client, or just sign up once and add
your clients' domains as aliases on the single Apps account. Then, you
can set up the mapping yourself.
