No, this flag helps the backup server to run as real server
by ignoring the steps that IPVS does to lookup and create connections.
The packets are simply passed to the local stack without any inspection.
Note that if sh-fallback detects unavailable real server (even with
weight 0), the fallback is temporary - when this real server becomes
available again the traffic is switched back immediately, so at such
switching moments two commections can land in different servers.
