Hi,

We don't support alternate URLs for ESI includes, and actually I'm
wondering how we could do it.

A 4xx or 5xx response is considered a response, so unless you abandon
the backend fetch, such a backend response will be included in the
client response.

Since Varnish 7.1 abort ESI delivery on include error:

The <esi:remove> tag serves a completely different purpose.
