#appengine

i love the benefits of appengine and paas, but i have a (weird) requirement to do geographical load balancing. i'd prefer to keep using appengine, but i can't use something like google load balancer or cloud flare, because they depend on being able to use http host header, but appengine can only associate one domain (or subdomain) to one app, so it's not possible to have multiple apps in multiple regions respond

on behalf of my app. i know i can do this myself if i roll something like apache or nginx and gce. can anyone recommend alternatives or confirm that i don't have many options?

surely cloud flare supports this

either with some URL rewriting feature, or if not that then get the enterprise plan and discuss it with them directly, I'm sure they'll help

forwardib: that requirement is weird, any more information you can give about it? static assets from gae will already be cached and served from edge caches around the world, if it's a compliance thing (eu vs na for example) then that makes sense, but you probably should just serve a domain for each region, accidentally "crossing the streams" there would be pretty bad
