So if tumblr.com doesn't provide you to map custom domains/subdomains you will not get anything but the homepage of tumblr.com. To confirm this I have created a CNAME named engtech to point to engtech.tumblr.com. Now http://engtech.jalaj.net/ gets you to http://www.tumblr.com/ . Google Apps provides the facility thus CNAME works here (though http://web.jalaj.net still don't take me to my homepage at googlepages. don't know why?)
