Why not charge a monthly fee for apps to get a static IP (like Amazon
does)?  Scarcity of supply seems like a bit of a cop-out to me - it's
not apparent that a majority of app engine apps require this support.
The customers you're losing because of this, however, are customers
that plan to process e-commerce transactions online without looking
like a phishing scam.  Customers that make money on your service are
more likely to spend money on your service.
