I think you want to be using MX records, rather than A records to point to your mailhost systems, those records allow you to specify a priority, the higher priory system (I believe the lower numeric value, but look it up) getting the mail if available, else working through the list of available mailservers.
I have scripts that will pretty much do what you are looking for (hint, SED, template zone file run through # sed) but I think that doing so would be completely unnecessary for you.
