No. smtproutes is read in a "last best match wins" fashion. So if you
have the entries:
domain1.com:hosta.somewhere
domain1.com:otherhost.elsewhere
The first line will NEVER be used.
If you really want the fallback behaviour, then use MX records -
that's what they're for. Of course if you don't have control over the
DNS entries, then you can't control the MX records.
You could use a load balancing dns server such as Dan's pickdns from
his djbdns package.
