MX record Question

The question is how does this work?

MX 10 mail01.domain.com
MX 10 mail02.domain.com


If for example this in theory will round robin, what would happen if mail01
were to go down, would mail02 be the next on the list even after being
resolved?  My email admin wanted to know how this would work.  We think that
it should go to the next one in line, this of course depending on the MTA.
Could someone shed some light.

Thanks,

Mark
