What he is explaining, is that you cannot map your app at nakeddomain.com. Therefore, any redirection has to be implemented outside of appengine and outside of Google's control, usually at the DNS provider level. It is not easy to tell you exactly how, as it depends on your DNS provider and/or other services you have access to. Essentially, you need to configure your DNS to point nakeddomain.com to the IP address of a HTTP server on which you can configure http://nakeddomain.com/ to redirect (301 or 302) to http://www.nakeddomain.com/. Certain DNS providers offer such a redirection as an integrated, built-in service, others force you to configure it explicitly (meaning you need to own/rent such a server or use a redirection service do it for you). The Knol page you're talking about actually seems to explain how to do it for eNom. P.S. Pointing to Knol is the Google equivalent of pointing to Wikipedia, really. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
