Same could be achieved via round-robin dns, where 'mail.example.com'
has multiple IP addresses (assuming you delay DNS checks rather
than caching it the first time.)
But that assumes you have control of a DNS server so you
can do this if you wanted to load balance between mail.example.com
and pop.example.net. Using your own dns you can do this, but
if you don't have a DNS server you control, your proposed change
would do the trick.
So I say "if it doesn't add to the code complexity or add security
problems, by all means.
