DNS Records

[Adam Lang]

I'm sort of iffy on what is and isn't good practice.

I have a server that houses email and web.  Say the hostname is bush.  Is it
ok to do something like this:

bush     A    38.138.71.194
www    cname    bush
mail        cname    bush
            mx    bush

That way, if I ever separate the servers, I just change what the cname
points to?  Or should I have individual A records for each of them?
