Custom Domain in Google App Engine

I am trying to map my (bare) domain to an application.

I found this.

I would like to map my application to http://myurl.com (also known as bare domain).

Due to recent changes, Google App Engine no longer supports mapping your application to a bare domain. If your domain registrar supports a redirect URL, you can redirect from http://yourdomain.com to your application, which can be served from domains such as http://www.yourdomain.com or http: //appid.yourdomain .com .

For instructions on setting up redirects for the Google Apps domain, see URL redirection article.

Now I do not want to resort to redirection. I understand that udacity.com is hosted on appengine and they seem to use a bare domain.

So, I hope this is just typical bad documentation or not updated. Does anyone have any info on how Udacity solves this problem or how can I produce this behavior?

AFAIK AppEngine cannot be mapped to an open domain, you can have a proxy displayed in your bare domain, they will be a proxy server in the application.

What most applications do is switch from a bare domain to www, where the application is mapped. GoDaddy supports support for GoogleApps, as well as support for other free and paid DNS services.
