traffic redirect

[alexkayzer]

Hello! how to redirect income traffic outside from cluster if my pod are unavalible?
schemas:
some pod going to my service
somepod httpreq to myservice.myservice.svc.cluster.local
if my service are unavalible redirect those req to outside from cluster fqdn some like example.myorg.local

im read manual on HTTPRoute but don't get info about it(
can i use externalname service in backendRefs field?

The only thing that came to mind was Linkerd's traffic failover. Reference:

Redirecting outside the cluster isn't really supported, I'm afraid, since HTTPRoute doesn't support ExternalName Services as targets. One possible route might be to use Linkerd's mesh expansion to make the external workload appear in the cluster; that may or may not work with your use case but it's worth a look...
