Here is what I have going on. My server is spfe-03. You go to spfe-03 and my project site loads just like it should. You go to spfe-03:12345 and mysites load. Just like It should 

Now I had our DNS guy create a new entry called SharePoint and I added sharepoint as a default zone under AAM and it worked. Now what I would like is my.sharepoint to point to mysites. I created a default zone under AAM for the mysites collection but it doesn't translate. I don't think we need any new records under DNS so I am unsure where to go from here. Any help people could give would be most appreciated.

Your mysties are running @ spfe-03:12345. It is not running in port 80.  Please create a host header in IIS (which is same as the DNS entry), change the port number of the sites from 12345 to 80. Then add AAM.
