I would use A records where possible.

www.123.com.    IN    A    10.0.0.1
123.com.             IN    A    10.0.0.1

P.S. There are some important rules about CNAMEs that you need to
be aware of:

1) You cannot point an MX record or an NS record at a CNAME. So your
delegation and MX targets (Internet SMTP mail server names) must still
be A records.

2) If a name owns a CNAME record, it cannot own any other records. The
most common gotcha associated with this rule is that the name of a zone
cannot own a CNAME (because then the SOA and NS records owned by the
name would violate the rule).

More information out there on the web - RFC's, etc.
