Down a pool if a monitor fails?
While it makes no sense to me....I've been asked to implement a monitor for a pool of webservers, that does a 'GET /monitor/status.html' and if the response does not contain the string "SUMMARY: OK", to disable the entire pool.
The pools are for our main production web site, and the normal fallback URL in our http profile is to a (different) status page on the main site.
The purpose is so that the admins can take the site down for maintenance without bothering me the F5 admin. Even though they've formed a committee to blame the F5 for a recent outage caused by all members in the pool being down.
