Use either separate A records or separate CNAME records. Even if there are many of them, it only takes a couple of minutes to set them all up
Thanks for the tip.

Aside from the additional lookup time, is there a functional difference I should care about between:

Code:
mydomain.com A ip addr
ftp.mydomain.com A same ip addr
and

Code:
mydomain.com A ip addr
ftp.mydomain.com CNAME mydomain.com
