No, you add NS records to the franskefamily.com zone that delegate
ben.franskefamily.com to the Granite Canyon name servers, e.g.,

ben.franskefamily.com.	IN	NS	ns1.granitecanyon.com.
ben.franskefamily.com.	IN	NS	ns2.granitecanyon.com.

These are just like the NS records in the ben.franskefamily.com
zone that you show below.

> ben.franskefamily.com IN NS ns1.secondary.com
> ben.franskefamily.com IN NS ns2.secondary.com
> localhost.ben.franskefamily.com. IN A 127.0.0.1
>
> ben.franskefamily.com. IN RP ben\.franske.mail.com. ben.franskefamily.com.
> ben.franskefamily.com. IN TXT "952-925-0657"
> ben.franskefamily.com. IN A 144.13.236.241
> print.ben.franskefamily.com IN A 144.13.236.242
> ftp.ben.franskefamily.com IN A 144.13.236.244
> mail.ben.franskefamily.com. IN  A  144.13.236.246
> *.ben.franskefamily.com.     IN  MX  10  mail.ben.franskefamily.com. ;
> GLOBALOK
>
> *.ben.franskefamily.com. IN CNAME  ben.franskefamily.com. ; GLOBALOK
> ------------------------
> Where in this example my webserver address is 144.13.236.241, ftp server

> Does this look right and/or make sense to anyone? will it work?

The rest of it looks fine.
