i'm trying to setup NS server and i have this question.. I'm not sure if
it's okay to ask here .. i hope it's okay:)
anyway here is my question:

in file zone I have

Begining of Example 1

www.mydomain.com		IN	A		192.168.0.1
www.mydomain.com		IN	A		192.168.0.2
www.mydomain.com		IN	A		192.168.0.3

End of Example 1

or would be just right to have something like this

Begining of Example 2

mydomain.com		IN	A		192.168.0.1
mydomain.com		IN	A		192.168.0.2
mydomain.com		IN	A		192.168.0.3
mydomain.com		IN	CNAME		www.mydomain.com

End of Example 2

which one would be "more" right example 1 or example2

also

i have MX Records

mydomain.com.	IN	MX	10	192.168.0.1
mydomain.com.	IN	MX	10	192.168.0.2
mydomain.com.	IN	MX	20	192.168.0.3

would that be right?
i want traffic to be shared between first two ips
and if they wont handle it traffic will switch to 3rd ip
