 This will forward to the `/inCaseofFailureUseThis` URI when the circuit breaker fallback is called. Note that this example also demonstrates (optional) Spring Cloud Netflix Ribbon load-balancing via the `lb` prefix on the destination URI.
 
 The primary scenario is to use the `fallbackUri` to an internal controller or handler within the gateway app.
