Google ips are blocked by a Turk Telecom server here in Turkey. Without a Cname record it aint' gonna work. And I can't have a Cname record for the naked domain as this prevents the Mail servers which are specified by the naked domain in the MX records from providing incoming mail.
Ok, so how did I half resolve this: I setup an A record for the naked domain with a non Google IP address and then setup a forward from naked to www domain. Now this works everywhere except Turkey! Didn't try China. I can't ping the naked domain inside Turkey either from the terminal or an online service, but it can be pinged outside of Turkey. Neither is the forwarding working inside Turkey but it is everywhere else for those of you who would like to test this the address is emlakair.com, it's a realestate site in beta now, but nonetheless if you're outside Turkey that naked address should point to www.emlakair.com. If anyone is inside Turkey I'd be pleased as punch if you manage it, but alas I suspect not. Now the big question is how is still not working when the ip address is not even a google address, it's an allocated DNS address.
