DNS Pro's Can you Please tell me whats wrong....

[Matthew Thompson]

Currently Granitecanyon have the zone setup so that the Mailserver (and
there's only one - you may wish to see about running a backup - yor ISP may
be able to help), Webserver and FTP server all point to the A Record of
ns.yrip.com (216.240.170.158)

Is it true that these are all running on the same machine?
