I believe so - I believe the default action is that it will attempt 
to use the first server in the list, and when it find it doesn't 
respond, it will put it to the bottom of it's list.

BUT, why give a client a server it can't reach ? That's just inviting trouble.

Or is this more a question of "what happens if the server at 
150.161.xy goes down ?"
