Traffic Router will first check for a fallbacks array and, when that is empty/unset/all the Cache Groups in it are also unavailable, will subsequently check for fallbackToClosest. If that is true, then it falls back to the geographically closest Cache Group capable of serving the same content or, when it is false/no such Cache Group exists/said Cache Group is also unavailable, will respond to clients with a failure response indicating the problem.

While these fields are technically optional, note that if they are not specified many things may break. For this reason, Traffic Portal requires them when creating or editing Cache Groups.
