I don't know what HSPHERE is, but you do this the same way in BIND 9 as 
you did in BIND 8 and BIND 4.  There's no "magic", you just have 
multiple A records with the same IP address:

host1 IN A 1.2.3.4
host2 IN A 1.2.3.4
and so on...

You can also use CNAME records to create aliases in most cases, e.g.

host3 IN CNAME host1
