I had the same problem - finally dropped out from VSNL.  Another issue with
the ACNAME hack is that it is case sensitive.

This January, I registered a domain name with VSNL- www.davelok.com.  I
could not configure it to work with Google Apps.  So I rented server space
from VSNL and tried to host my site there.  Didn't work.  Called up customer
service innumerable times.  They promised resolution in times ranging from
'24 hours' to 'some working days'.  Never worked.

Their control panel doesn't work.  You can't get past their call centre to
speak to a technical person.  In short, VSNL is Teh Suxx0r.  They SUCK.

I don't know how ISPs with such callous attitude are allowed to operate.  I
had also threatened by email taking them to consumer court.  No reply.
