Not a bad idea, Alex. But I find all the approaches so far like a "looking the other way: excuse for Google. It should not be up to the users to come up with all sorts hoops and work-arounds to solve the problem. It should be Google the one trying to offer legitimate solutions. Until they do, my money (although a pittance) will continue to go to AWS. If and when Google makes it easy (i.e. not jumping though 10 different hoops between Google Apps and App Engine) to add custom domains and provide SSL option for them, we'll re-evaluate GAE as a viable app-hosting platform.
