Hi Timo,
A node (IP address) health monitor either needs to be valid for an IP address, like ICMP, or have a specific alias port defined in the health monitor. A health monitor without an alias port definition will inherit the port from the pool member (IP:port) definition.
Another difference between applying a health monitor to a node versus a pool member is that when a node monitor marks a node down, the node is marked down in all pools the node is defined in. A monitor added to a pool or pool member only affects that single pool member.
