[google-appengine] sub domain without google apps
Hi, I am working on an app I plan to sell to clients. Can we have it so a cname record can just point to appname.appspot.com without the need for google apps. I have played around with this and I have one domain setup on www. and created cname on another domain to point to this and this does not work (it just throws a 404). If I create a cname to appname.appspot.com I get google loading for me. The reason I ask is its just confusing to clients and adds an extra layer of support that is not needed(having to setup google apps or accessing their current one). I think the way that app engine works with domains needs looking at.

Thanks Nick, I willl look into the domains aliases on the single account as that might be a good fit. otherwise I guess I will have to set it up per client.

scrap that it can do it with out the mx records. I now have the domain in my dropdown. I think this will be a lot easier to work out.

[google-appengine] Re: sub domain without google apps
Are there any decent instructions on creating a domain alias on google apps? I have tried but it wants me to change the mx records which is not what I desire. can we actually have domain alias's for just a sub domain?
