Thanks Chris, I'll take a look at the user request

 

Your best bet is typically a lightweight HTTP page that requires all systems be functioning in order to return a 200 response. Some folks just use /index.html or whatever the home page is, but depending on the page size, that might not be the best. Also, sometimes the home page simply serves static content. If you're simply load balancing to web servers though, static content might be all you care about.
