Foreman Smart Proxy Content Streamer

When using Streamer and "On Demand" download policy, do Foreman Smart Proxy
Content servers (capsules) try to get the content from their parent Katello
server or from the repo source directly?

Basically in the event that the parent Katello server is down, can a
capsule still provide content? Sure all of the RHSM functionality will be
gone so no new subscriptions/clients but would existing clients of capsule
servers function as expected?

Side note: (What are we calling capsule servers now??? "Foreman Proxy" is
kind of broad. "Foreman Proxy Content server" is clear but pretty
verbose. "Content Server?")

If the Smart Proxy Content is set to "on demand" and the Katello server is
down it will fail for Content it has not already got. You could leverage
Pulps Alternative Content Source feature to get the Foreman Proxy Content
to use another source other than the Katello server, although I'm fairly
sure the installer will wipe that configuration away when ran.
