Are there sub-domains I shouldn't enable with CloudFlare?

Subdomains on CloudFlare are marked with an orange cloud. Subdomains not on CloudFlare are marked with a gray cloud.

The CloudFlare network can only proxy web traffic over port 80 and 443.

The following sub-domains should be marked with a gray cloud to prevent performance issues:

cpanel

direct

ftp

ghs.google.com

mail

mysql

nameservers (NS1, NS2)

secure* (unless you enable CloudFlare SSL)

webmai
