Can you set the Monitor go out the Float IP address

Is is possible to have the monitoring go out the float IP instead of the Self IP? I have to NAT this for each pool member and if I can use the Float IP then I only have to do one NAT for each member ...

I don't think you can, and it doesn't make sense to. Both LTMs in a pair need to monitor members, however the floating IP is only owned by the active device.
