This works fine.  but I would make sure it is 
www 	IN	CNAME	home1.domain.org.
That last period will get you all the time. :-)

ALso, please keep in mind that if you do this, and you have 
cgi-bin's, make darn sure that you are saving the "state" at the 
client because the next hit will go to the next machine in line.
Make SURE you understand the security issues involved with cgi-bin
scripting before you start getting clever with holding the "state" 
at the users client.
