It doesn't work that way. Setting max idle instances to 1 changes the number of idle instances, not necessarily the total number of instances.
There is no way to do what the previous poster wants to do - keep a single instance in the cluster so he/she doesn't have to worry about instance memory synchronization issues. GAE is not designed this way. It is possible to create a single backend that works this way, however. I'm not sure how - or if - you can direct traffic from a "normal" domain name like www.example.com to a backend.
