You have three choices:
1) Put the IP on the mail server and use an IP Less configuration
for the web. In this case you have:
mail.my.com IN A x.x.x.x
my.com IN MX 10 mail.my.com
www.my.com IN CNAME www.ficom.net
2) Put two IPs on each machine:
mail.my.com IN A x.x.x.x
my.com IN MX 10 mail.my.com
www.my.com IN A y.y.y.y
3) Put the IP on the web server and use an IP Less configuration
for the mail. In this case you have:
my.com IN MX 10 ntsvr11.ficom.net
www.my.com IN A y.y.y.y
Obviously 2 is ideal, but thats a large waste of ips. The first
would be my preference, as its going to give the most compatability.
However, if the user is just going to forward all mail to an
account that is user@ficom.net, then you don't need an IP for either
and can setup a virtual mail server.

There is a current issue with Mailsite on how it handles the email
field. Support has a new VerifyMailUser stored procedure that
works around this issue until we can work with Mailsite to
resolve it.

Mailsite currently does not support the aliases and forwards. I would
not recommend using those.

With the workaround VerifyMailUser proc, you can use the email field as
a psuedo alias that should work. That is the only addition that we
support with Mailsite currently.
