header-value-router

I'm using SI 1.3
I'm trying to use the header value router to do the following:
If a message comes in with a header value of "specificValue" for head "specificHeader", I want to route to a "one-off-channel". If a message comes in with a header value other than "specificValue" for the "specificHeader" I want it to go to the normalFlowChannel

I have this:
<header-value-router
input-channel="incomingChannel"
header-name="specificHeader"
default-output-channel="normalFlowChannel">
<mapping
value="specificValue"
channel="one-off-channel" />
</header-value-router>

I thought the default-output-channel would take over if the incoming message had a specificHeader value of something other than specificValue but that does not seem to be the case.

If a message comes in with a specificHeader value of specificValue than the message gets routed properly.

However, if a message comes in with a specificHeader value of something other than specificValue, the message does not get routed anywhere.

Also, what is the timeout parameter for in the header-value-router?

I added ignore-channel-name-resolution-failures="true" to the header-value-router and then things worked as I expected.
