A records like MX?

I was wondering with Bind 9... or some other way to do this.

MX records can have a priority i.e. 

MX 10 mail1
MX 20 mail2

Is this possible for A records?

I want to have a webserver on an A record i.e. 1.1.1.1 and if for some
reason 1.1.1.1 is uncontactable it would rollover to 2.2.2.2

Rotary DNS where you can do:

www A 1.1.1.1
www A 2.2.2.2

Doesn't do what I want to do because it uses 2.2.2.2 regardless... I
ONLY want it to use 2.2.2.2 if 1.1.1.1 is not accessible.... 

Anyone know any methods to do this?
