The monitor will be executed against each pool member individually. So if the monitor is:

GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: \r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

Then the F5 will send that request to each pool member, and each pool member will issue a response from its default website (which isn't necessarily the site being load balanced).

If the monitor is:

GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.hostname.com\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

Then the F5 will send that request to each pool member, and each pool member will respond from its "www.hostname.com" site. Regardless of which string is used, the status of other members should not impact the status of the member being checked (in a "normal" design). Also, out of curiosity, do you have 200 OK configured as the return string in your http monitor?
