If you still have other servers available at other URLs to serve the error page, then you'd better do that then :

     frontend pub
 	redirect location http://sorry-page-location if { nbsrv(bk_www) lt 1 }
 	default_backend bk_www

Just ensure that you don't do the same with those other servers :-)
