Thanks guys. The mx and a record story was exactly what I was looking for. Heard of them and knew they pointed, but didn't know how. All the answers were great.

I have been dealing with small business servers for years with pop connectors and POPCon etc, but I now want to develop and point records at my servers. I know I need a static IP and I need Mx Records changed to point to my box, but I can't find anywhere that explains where/how I'd send smtp.domain.com to one server and FTP.domain.com&nbsp;to another and www etc. Im sure it's a simple answer, but it's easier asking here than face to face and have people roll their eyes. <br />
<br />
Please help?

How do I point external traffic at my servers?

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.

Internet Protocols

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
