Further, ghs.google.com resolves to a number of IPs; these IPs change over time and depending on the location of the requester. Simply choosing one from the list will not work reliably. Finally, App Engine will not be able to route your incoming requests correctly unless it's aware of your mapping, which it's not possible to do for a naked domain. -Nick Johnson > * I configured a CNAME for www.domain.com to point to ghs.google.com > > I suspect that one of those two changes may have something to do with > my success.
