I use this a health monitor to check the status of the ISP link on a Link Controller. I want to check that some internet web pages are reachable by just doing a "GET /".
If I configure the basic http monitor I type for instance www.nu.nl as the adress to be checked. If the monitor is now created I see that the ip address is put in there instead of www.nu.nl.
}
monitor HTTP-Nu {
defaults from http
transparent
dest 62.69.179.231:http
}
Now if www.nu.nl changes the ip address, the monitor will still check the old address and therefore fails.
So I need a script that can do an dns lookup first and then do the check on the resolved ip address.
