Hi Puli,

 

 

The fallback host will be used if a load balancing attempt fails--not only if the whole pool is marked down. You could try capturing a tcpdump to see what is happening on the serverside when the HTTP profile fallback host is used.

 

 

If you want to change the fallback behavior to only send a redirect if the whole pool is marked down, you could use the example from this solution:
