How does a content redirect behaves when local services are also defined ?
Can a content redirect be used as a "backup action" ?

Ex :
content johnnybegood
      port 80
      protocol tcp
      vip address 1.1.1.1
     add service johnny1
     add service johnny2
      url "/*"
      redirect "//johnnyisnotavailable/error.html"
 active

How will this behaves ?
- All flow matching johnnybegood will be redirected to the errorpage ?
- Or will the CSS balance the flow throught johnny1/johnny2, and redirect to
error.html only if both local services become unavailable ?

Redirects are well explained here...
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps789/products_configuration_example09186a00801de8d6.shtml
   but the scenario of a content redirect AND local services configured within
the content is not explained... Only content redirect as default action are
detailed.

PS : btw avoiding SorryServers and/or service type redirects is mandatory..for
many extenuating reasons.
