Hi David,

 

I created a .NET web service that wraps an echoscu call to create/verify an assocation between the web server and a DICOM server. The web service takes the node name as a parameter (along with some other ones), and returns a simple "UP"/"DOWN" string. Individual custom HTTP monitors on the F5's point at the web server/port and pass the node name to the web service, then use the Receive string to mark the pool members up or down.

 

Thanks, Jen
