Heroku apex record setup

Question

I have a heroku application and I want to configure my domain to redirect the apex record to www..

Are there any free services I could use for this purpose?

I mean other than rolling my own solution and hosting it in a free hosting environment that supports A records, or using a service like that of dnsimple.

Two options I've used:

http://wwwizer.com/
For $0.50/month, Amazon Route 53 will host DNS on your domain. You can then use Amazon S3's new root domain support to redirect to your www subdomain on Heroku.

`wwwizer.com` did the trick, ty! – bevacqua Jan 18 '13 at 19:56
@Nico It works, but do consider the ramifications of relying on a free service for this. They should shut down or do something nasty at any time. I wouldn't use it for a web store, for example. – ceejayoz Jan 18 '13 at 20:00
of course, but in my case, since it's just a technical blogging application, this will do just fine for the time being – bevacqua Jan 18 '13 at 20:17
