Hi,

I'm not sure what your colleague meant by more sophisticated. When I've set up an HTTP probe I've asked that the server management team set up a simple static page on the server that can be tested. So in my probe I'd specify something like:

request method head url /serverhere.html

This enables the team to take a server out of service by renaming the page (e.g. to servernothere.html) without having to ask me to modify the ACE configuration. The server can then be tested without real users having access and brought back in when they're happy.

HTH
