Another huge disappointment here is that the failure mode:  A redirect
to http://www.google.com/sorry which produces a 200 OK response.  Our
monitoring system interpreted this as "just fine" so we didn't get
notice of the downtime for a couple hours.  A customer informed us of
the failure.

We have changed our monitoring system to grep for known content on the
pages... but this is incredibly dangerous.  It's like a gigantic
hidden landmine perfectly positioned to cause maximum damage when
someone steps on it.
