Question

I’m building a application that supports different domains. A small CMS that supports different domains.

But what I can’t figure out is how to redirect other domains that’s outside google apps. I have a domain at google apps, that work’s perfectly.
When I create a cname that points at either my appid.appspot.com or http://www.appsdomain.com it just goes to google.com.

What do I need to do so the other domains point to my appengine application.

You can’t just use a cname because google needs to know how to direct the requests through their infrastructure to your app.

You should follow the instructions here: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/domain.html to set up your name with their infrastructure so that requests to the cname get routed correctly.

Update: You do not have to move your domain to google, only inform them of the names you are going to set up cnames to point to them.
