pointing custom domain to google backend instance

[radzish]

Hello,

I would like to expose one of my backend so it accepts client requests. I configured it adding "public" option. Everything works fine via backendName.appName.appspot.com. Now I wont to point my custom domain to that backend. I tried to do so the way it described in documentation of adding custom domains, but with no luck. new created domain points to default version of my apprather than to backend instance.

How can it be resolved?

I'd also love to be able to map custom domains to specific app
versions / backends.

Here is a sort-of related issue:

If you decide to make a new issue for this, please post back with a
link to the issue so we can star it.

If you just looking to de-appspot things and are OK with
backendName.yoursub.yourdomain.com, this worked for me.

Under your Google app settings for that application, add an entry with
a wildcard to "Your users can access [your app] at" like this:

http://*.yoursub.yourdomain.com

where you presumably have http://yoursub.yourdomain.com for your
frontend already (keep that one too).

Configure DNS by adding a MX record at your domain provider for each
backend (or wildcards if they support it - GoDaddy doesn't). E.g.,
pointing backendName.yoursub.yourdomain.com to ghs.google.com. Wait
for the DNS change to propagate, then it should work.

Yes, I would LOVE to be able to map specific versions to custom
domains. This would simulate 2 different apps using the same
dataset. Thank you for pointing out this issue to star Robert.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your solution.  Wildcard domain configuration did the trick. It worked great for me.

I believe that would work for specific app versions also, though I did not check.
