Description of Feature or Work Requested

NoHealthyBackendsBehavior is a feature that is configurable on Azure Load Balancer’s health probes. The feature, when enabled, sends new traffic to all backend VMs when all the instances are being probed down. For example, if a LB has a single VM in its backend pool, and the LB’s health probe is marking the VM as unhealthy, then this feature would send new traffic to the VM in the off chance that it is still healthy and is able to respond to traffic. This feature should be seen as a last resort for traffic being sent to VMs.

The feature has two values:

1. AllProbedUp – This option will send new traffic to all backend instances when health probes for all the VMs are at 0%. This should be seen as a last resort in case one of the VMs is still able to serve traffic.
2. AllProbedDown- This is the default behavior, and the behavior Azure Load Balancer has today. When all backend VMs are probing as unhealthy, no new connections will be sent to the VMs.
