So, now the question is how to set up the A records at FM for my non-FM website so that things work. As I look at the Zone records for my domain at my web host, I have a lot of A records, for things like subdomains as well as ftp. What I have noticed is that all of those A records all point to the same IP address. So, I'm thinking all I should have to do is to have two A records at FM, as follows:

mydomain.com IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the web host)
*.mydomain.com IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

The second is to handle ftp, subdomains, www., etc.

Can it be this simple?
