I don't think it does, that's why I think you should use multiple
server directives with 0, 1, 2, ... names on them in case one of them
fails.
Although not stating this directly, this page seems to confirm that
when it says "It can rarely happen that you are assigned the same
timeserver twice - just restarting the ntp server usually solves this
problem."

In particular, it seems that using the "pool" configuration option of
NTP might do a smarter job. I never used it though, so I couldn't
say...
