Blogger.com Custom Domain Problems

    Does anyone have a solution for the custom domain problem with blogger.com? If you dont know the problem is that when you use your custom domain lets say www.domain.com and use blogger.com to create and publish your blog everyone that visit www.domain.com see your blogs thats hosted at blogger. Now in order for this to happen u have to CNAME "www" to ghs.google.com (dns server) for this to happen but if you type in just domain.com you get the 404 error. Before it seems that everyone used domain forwarding to get around this but blogger.com or google stoped this. This is a known issue in the known issues page at blogger with no fix.

    Does anyone know what I can do to get around this? I have still come accross a few sites that have gotten around this but most people are saying its not possible right now.

    Is it that hard nowadays? I used to just set the CNAME to ghs.google and voila, it worked. But this ways in May.

    EDIT: do you use dot info domain?
