Until google releases something similar to elastic ip we're not going to progress this issue and the https on custom domain issue. AFAIK this is the biggest issue for GAE after "make the whole thing reliable". No one outside google knows the reason they haven't released this feature or indeed if

How about using SRV records, instead of CNAME? I don't know if the popular browsers support them, but if yes, they are a perfectly valid solution. On Jul 29, 7:40 pm, "Nick Johnson (Google)" wrote: > On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 5:37 PM, Barry Hunter > wrote: > > > > > 2009/7/29 Nick Johnson (Google)
