nagios for pool monitors?

Has anyone here tried to use custom HTTP pool monitors with the alias address/port set to pull service status data from the Nagios web interface?     Our thought is that we are using Nagios...

I think jquinby's suggestion to use an external monitor is good. Trying to use a standard HTTP monitor to poll a single, separate device for status of the pool members won't work. This is because you cannot specify the pool member IP address and port in a monitor send string--which is what Nagios is going to expect. With an external monitor, you can get the current pool member IP and port in shell variables and use that in the HTTP request sent to Nagios.
