I know they don't support it, but seriously, how to do it? Point A-records to an ip which only serves up a 301 to heroku? That sounds really dumb. Am I missing something?

Is there a simpler workaround?

There is a simpler workaround.

Point your www CNAME to myapp.herokuapp.com

Then forward your root url (myapp.com) to www.myapp.com
