Web forwarding and domain specific email

  • I set up web forwarding to my blog (zimzalla.wordpress.com) from a domain I purchased (www.zimzalla.co.uk). The method I used for doing this involved changing the name servers for my purchased domain to their WordPress equivalent. This worked successfully and forwarding has been unproblematic since. However, I recently purchased a domain specific email address with the same company. This does not work because I have, as detailed above, changed the name servers. The advice their technical support gave me was to ask WordPress for the IP address of my blog in order that I can point my purchased domain to it that way instead. I have read the topic in the WordPress forum which tells me the the following are the correct IP addresses to use:

    72.233.69.14
    76.74.159.137
    64.34.177.159

    I have two questions about this: are these still the correct addresses (the forum topic is a few months old) and which of them do I use? The only options I get in my control panel for my purchased domain is to change the addresses for @ and www, meaning one of the addresses above will not be used.

    And a final question: is this really the best method to do what I want, i.e. retain web forwarding but have a functioning domain specific email address?
