In some load balancers (haproxy, for example) you can create a backend that
only gets hit if all the other backends are down. A common enough setup is
to have a local apache serve a polite "oops" page on an alternate port on
the loopback. Is there some clever way to do this with Varnish? I've read
to docs and googled but can't find anything like this. If this is possible,
a doc to the right link would be awesome.
