Need add secondary domain to GAE application

I have an AppEngine app running at myappname.appspot.com, and I've added the URL status.domain1.com. However, the point of this whole project is have the app running at: status.domain2.com. We have domain1.com as the main domain associated with our Google Apps account, and domain2.com is linked that account as a active domain.

When I go to 'myappname (App Engine) settings' in our control panel, and I try to "Add new URL" as status.domain2.com, I get the error banner: 

The term 'domain2.com' is not allowed.

This is even though 'domain2.com' is listed as one of the domains associated with our account, and available on the drop-down menu.

How can I get the VirtualHost status.domain2.com to work? We already have this domain on our Google Apps account, but Google Apps support can't help.

This question is similar to Google App Engine and domain name and How do I point multiple domain names at a single Google App Engine application?, but in this case I'm able to add '[email protected]' as an administrator of the 'domain2.com' domain on Google Apps, and I have 'domain2.com' as a drop-down option when I do "Add new URL" but I still get an error.

This bug in GAE has me pulling my hair out. Wish I'd not gone this route.

In order to use status.domain2.com with app engine, you have to add it to your google apps account as a domain alias and not as an active domain.

Google does not make this easy to find out, but see the last paragraph of this page: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=182081
