Load balancing with DNS round robin

I want to implement load balancing through DNS round robin. I have
enabled proxy.config.dns.round_robin_nameservers .

What ip addresses need to be set in the proxy.config.dns.nameservers?
Is it the addresses of the origin servers or a nameserver needs to be
set up?
Any changes needs to be made to remap.config?

Yes, you configure multiple A-records on your DNS server. In addition, 
you want to set

     CONFIG proxy.config.hostdb.strict_round_robin INT 1

I want to do round robin over multiple origin servers. Can that be
accomplished using ATS?

Those setting is to do round-robin over the resolvers (name servers), is 
that really what you want? Most people think of RR as multiple A-records for 
an entity, and that is controlled on the resolvers, not ATS. You do have 
tell ATS to use strict RR on the hosted settings though.
