It looks like it is a problem of setting up your router and NAT service on the router, rather than a DNS issue. >From the wolrd, mydomain.com, ftp.mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com are seen as a signle IP/host (the public/WAN interface of your router). That is the router that direct traffic to this or that. Olivier
