I have the same set up desires but did NOT want my mail or other servers 
sent to www.maplepark.com.  I use a RR like this:

www     IN      A       64.216.205.121

in my authoritative NS

A $ host www.maplepark.com then gets:
www.maplepark.com has address 64.216.205.121

and a $ host maplepark.com gets:
maplepark.com has address 64.216.205.121
maplepark.com mail is handled by 50 mx3.dnsmadeeasy.com.
maplepark.com mail is handled by 20 maplepark.com.
maplepark.com mail is handled by 30 mx1.dnsmadeeasy.com.
maplepark.com mail is handled by 40 mx2.dnsmadeeasy.com.
