Domain configuration for GAE using Enom and Google Apps

[Gary Eberhart]

Hi There, 

Can someone please post a valid configuration for enom that allows me to host my Google App Engine application using my custom domain name. I've registered animalengine.org with Google and they used Enom. I can't seem to get the my application working why showing my custom domain name in the address bar. Using a URL Frame does show my domain name in the address bar but breaks the ability to bookmark pages. I'd be so greatful if someone could post a configuration with enom that works for GAE. Please consider my configuration. 

In Google Apps on my dashboard, under Google App Engine my domain is listed with s~ I don't understand why. 

s~animalengine

App Engine

https://s~animalengine.appspot.com

Thank you for looking, I thank you and so do the animals.

Hi Gary,
  My config looks something like this:
   mydomainname.com. 3600 IN A 123.123.123.123
   mail.mydomainname.com. 86400 IN CNAME ghs.google.com.
   app.mydomainname.com. 86400 IN CNAME ghs.google.com.
   www.mydomainname.com. 86400 IN CNAME ghs.google.com.

So in your ns manager that's going to look something like:
@       123.123.123.123   A (Address)
mail   ghs.google.com.   CNAME
app   ghs.google.com.   CNAME
www   ghs.google.com.   CNAME

You need to do is serve a *redirect* from animalengine.org to
www.animalengine.org (or animals.animalengine.org or whatever). Don't
use the frame crap; for me, the first request to your domain _always_
resulted in an error.

Hey thanks. You're amazing! I've been reading your posts from dawn to dusk and latter. Thank you for all the very useful responses! 

DNS configuration is an exercise in patience, 24-48 hours to see if your changes work? Wow and I though GWT compile time was a bit slow. :o)
