As FerCamargo stated, it will send the IP of the pool member it is sending the health monitor to. Please keep in mind that some servers tend to use strict RFC following and that IP is auto filled and the server could drop the request, not respond, or respond with a 400 series response. If you're going to use HTTP 1.1 you really should be adding a host field.
