The problem I've always had with this is that DNS root levels (., no www) can't be a CNAME - unless there are any DNS gurus in the audience that can point to some alternate configuration I've overlooked.

You can always just serve a redirect to www.example.com. Doesn't have to be a high-powered redundant server or anything (just secure).
