    Does the F5 interact directly to the content server under normal circumstances? Meaning, is it a member of a pool that the F5 directs traffic to? If so then the F5 should monitor it directly. What do you plan to do in the F5 if the content server is down?

    F5 interact with only webserver. and then webserver get content from content server on outside. If content server down , F5 should monitor mark webserver down too. So it mean. Webserver should have at least 2 monitor ... 1. monitor webservice 2. monitor content server
