Sure.  I don't know of any reason you couldn't just round-robin them:
have duplicate A records in your DNS zone files for the name hylafax
in the local domain, and make sure a fax server is running on both.

You'll have to take into account that things like statistics won't be
complete anymore, but it would solve the problem...
