Thanks for your feedback, NoCommandLine. Personally, it's fine with me if someone finds a way into my site via the appspot domain name, so long as the custom name prevails in the address bar when it is used as the access method. But for those who read this thread and wish to redirect visitors who get to their sites via their appspot domain, where is there documentation that describes how to accomplish this redirect?
