Adaptive routing
Adaptive routing controls features that modify the routing of requests to pools and origins in response to dynamic conditions, such as during the interval between active health monitoring requests. Zero-downtime failover will trigger a single retry only if there is another healthy origin in the origin pool and a 521, 522, or 523 error code is occuring. No other error codes will trigger a zero-downtime failover operation.
Failover across pools
When there are no healthy origin servers in the same pool, failover across pools extend the zero-downtime failover of requests to healthy origin servers in alternate pools according to the failover order defined by traffic and origin steering.
