Here's a minimal zone file example, lacking extra goodies such as SRV
records, which also will be able to achieve load sharing as soon as
clients start implementing them. (Anyone heard of a complying client?)

; example.db
@	SOA	ns1.example.	hostmaster.example.	(
	1999120501	86400	7200	2592000	345600	)
	NS	ns1
	NS	ns2
	MX	20	mail1
	MX	20	mail2
ns1	A	192.168.0.2
ns2	A	192.168.0.3
mail1	A	192.168.0.4
mail2	A	192.168.0.5
www	A	192.168.0.6
	A	192.168.0.7
	A	192.168.0.8
	A	192.168.0.9

Responsibility for incoming mail is shared between mail1 and mail2,
although this isn't really round robin. The host www, however, has four A
records pointing to different IP addresses - this is round robin.

The configuration file doesn't need any special attention in this respect.
