The fallback host should be a fully qualified URL (like http://sorry.example.com/outage.html). It should not resolve to the same IP address as the VIP or you'd get constant redirections. If you use lower priority pool members instead of a fallback host, and no higher priority members are available, the requests would be sent unchanged to the lower priority pool members. The lower priority servers would need to be configured to answer for the same URI's as the main servers--or serve "sorry" content for all requests.
Does it sound like either option will work for you?
