Hi Jinshu,

 

You can still use regular Health-Monitors for this more or less unusual requirement.

 

When you create a new Health-Monitor, its possible to overwrite the destination IP/Ports to fixed values. By setting the IP to 1.1.1.1 the Health-Monitor will always monitor this IP even in the case the monitor is attached to node 2.2.2.2. With this knowledge in mind, just create monitors with fixed IPs, required send/receive strings and then attach both minitors to a single pool/node and set the availability requirement to "all monitors".

 

Cheers, Kai
