You will get an ICMP if you're lucky.  But if the host is completely down,
you probably won't get an ICMP.

There is a complication here -- if the host is down completely, you won't
get a 100 Trying (for UDP transport) or TCP ACK (for TCP transport), and you
should be able to notice that absence quite quickly, within a few seconds.
The current logic in RFC 3261 does not seem to detect and act on that
situation as quickly as would be useful.

  Actually, on second thoughts, you should get an ICMP error when you
attempt to send the ACK to the IP/port that was down. This should result in
you resending the ACK to another IP/port from the DNS list?
