Question Can you have multiple mailhost's in the /etc/hosts file?

We recently had an smtp server go down and didn't have a backup. Now that the backup server is up and running, I'd like to set up sendmail on our Solaris 10 servers to failover to the backup mail (smtp) server if the primary refuses connections.

I've googled "mailhost" and haven't found anything that suggests you can have more than one mailhost entry, but I figure that its worth a shot to ask.

Thanks in advance!
