O.K., another question:

I've been told to use A records whenever I could, particularly for mail
and ftp. Is it better to use A records or CNAME for this arrangement?
(Would I be better off using

mail.example.com. A <address of primary>
ftp.example.com. A <address of primary>

for this second step?
