re:

1.  the clients samples return times or something,
   and uses the info to select the "nearest" dns
    server the next time it contacts yur dns servers.
   so basically its not up to you.  All NS records
   are "the same" when viewed outside---all of them
   are authoritative to your zone in the same, equal
   way.

2. no...no such thing at the servers side.

(this is to the best of my recollection but its been
a while so criticizms welcome).
