I am using haproxy ingress controller, however I need to redirect traffic from / to some url, so I am using my custom default backend, But when I use it, when I try to send the traffic on / it does not redirects traffic to specified url,sometimes it does and sometime it dosent. I want to know how can I create and use my own default backend service and deployment.

Default-backend.yaml looks like:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
