or am i missing something and it is somehow possible to get a failure route block executed also on this kind of internally generated negative reply
Not now, but we can have it as feature request and see what can be done by next release. It will look indeed more coherent.
i created a feature request about it.
Now, an workaround could be to move content of failure_route in a route, call that route from failure route and after the relay fails. I think there should be introduced a new PV that can tell what is the type of root route block (request route, failure route, reply route), so one can take decisions based on that in script.
this workaround does not work if failure route block needs to call functions that can not be called in request route block. so i would say that there is a bug in current setup, because all things simply cannot be made to work correctly no matter what.
