External Monitor through Proxy via a different Route Domain

Is there a way to monitor different web pages off the internet through a proxy that is not on the default route domain?

 

I am able to run a curl command from route domain 2. I have tried a couple of different external monitors. If you recommend one, could you share the variables used as well as different arguments?

 

Thanks

    External Monitor is the best way using 'rdexec' and 'curl' with proxy:

    rdexec   []
curl -x, --proxy <[protocol://][user:password@]proxyhost[:port]>

    E.g. to hit wwww.google.com using proxy 192.168.1.1 on port 8080 using proxy username 'testuser' and password 'password1' and looking for a response of "200 OK" in an external monitor script:

    rdexec 1 curl -fNsi http://216.58.210.4/ -H 'Host: www.google.com' --proxy http://192.168.1.1:8080 --proxy-user testuser:password1 | grep -i "200 OK" 2>&1 > /dev/null
