Okay guys, I found a simple way :

If you want www to redirect to non-www you can use this method. You can also modify the code a little to do it other way around.

Simply set

@ (CNAME) : origin.meteor.comm
www (CNAME) : origin.meteor.com

Then, deploy your main app (without www).

meteor deploy yourapp.com

Now, create a new meteor app called redirect with

meteor create redirect
cd redirect

Set the generated js file contents like this :

if (Meteor.isClient) {
  var url = document.URL;
  url = url.replace("www.", "");
  window.location.href = url;
}

Then deploy your redirect app (with www)

meteor deploy www.yourapp.com

What you did is, you deployed two different applications to www and non-www of your domain. All the meteor app at www does is to redirect you to non-www domain. It will also redirect www.yourapp.com/some/path to yourapp.com/some/path. Simple yet powerfull solution :)
