My zone file looks something like:

@	IN	SOA	.....

	IN	NS	ns1.domain.com.
	IN	NS	ns2.domain.com.

	IN	A	1.2.3.4
	IN	MX	mail.domain.com.

WWW	IN	CNAME	@

In fact, if you use the zone file basically as listed above, you can use
the same file for multiple domains pointing at the same location.

You do end up with multiple hosts pointing toward the same address.  I
haven't seen this as a problem with web traffic...
