C# how to check what smtp server to use

I am wondering how to check for a smtp server status, and if the server is down, then use a different server.

Currently I create the smtp client this way:

        MailMessage mm = new MailMessage();
        SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("exch1.mail.com");

But a times exch1 is down, we have exch2, exch3, exch4, and exch5.

Is it possible to check for the status and use the first one that is available?

Thank you, Erasmo
