Transfer of Domain vs. pointing WWW record

  I’d like to use my http://www.warhammer39999.com domain with your wordpress.com offering; however, I use other records (such as mail.warhammer39999.com), and don’t see how they’ll function if I transfer total DNS control to you. If I do so, will there be some way that I can manage additional records through your servers?

  Can I alternately just point my WWW record to your servers–would that not work?

  No, you’ll need to map the domain here following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  Once done, you can add the DNS records back via the Custom DNS panel: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/custom-dns/
