title: How to forwarding bare domain to www.domain for google app hosted site
body: <p>I am in the process of porting some sites from my own server to Google (GHS). I've always used <a href="http://www.zoneedit.com/" rel="noreferrer">ZoneEdit</a> to manage my DNS needs and in the past - wrongly or rightly - configured it so that:</p>
  
  <p><code>domain.com</code> and <code>www.domain.com</code> pointed to: <code>&lt;my known ip address&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>With the <code>www</code> sub-domain all is fine and it (<code>www.domain.com</code>) resolves to <code>ghs.google.com</code> (via a <code>CNAME</code> entry) and the site is displayed.</p>
  
  <p>However, if I try and reach the bare domain (<code>domain.com</code>) FF states it is unable to establish a connection.  I assume this is because my DNS configuration has no <code>A</code> ip-address entry for it anymore.</p>
  
  <p>I was considering forwarding any URL from <code>domain.com</code> to <code>www.domain.com</code>, although possible ZoneEdit is not recommending it I think because I telling it to only forward requests for <code>http://domain.com</code> and leave <code>http://www.domain.com</code> as it is (i.e <code>CNAME</code> configured).</p>
  
  <p>Am I handling this the best way?</p>
  
  <p>Please advise.</p>
