Forward to external url on live probe failure

Traefik Traefik v2

Hi

I currently forward traffic to an internal service

labels:
        - traefik.http.routers.ocean.rule=Host(`ocean.xxx.ch`)
        - traefik.http.routers.ocean.tls=true
        - traefik.http.routers.ocean.tls.certresolver=lets-encrypt
        - traefik.http.services.ocean.loadbalancer.server.port=3000
        - traefik.http.services.ocean.loadbalancer.healthcheck.path=/_actuator/probes/readiness
        - traefik.http.services.ocean.loadbalancer.healthcheck.interval=10s

If the service fails health check I would like the traffic to be forwarded to an external url whale.yyy.ch instead until the primary service comes back online. Is that possible?

Hello @sandrich,

In Traefik v2.7, a failover service was added.
Did you have time to check it out ? ?
