Actually, this should be:

www.mydomain.com.   IN A 10.0.0.1
                    IN A 10.0.0.2
                    IN A 10.0.0.3
                    IN A 10.0.0.4
                    IN A 10.0.0.5
next.example.com.   IN A 10.0.0.6

You forgot the " A " in subsequent records and trailing dot on the www
line...

Is the "IN" strictly necessary?  No, but putting it in does indicate
what type of record it is for...

I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes.  I will surely
learn a great deal today.
