    Yes, you can. It's called an Alias port and it's available in the HTTP Monitor settings:

Hi Michael,

during creation of a Monitor you can overwrite the IP/Port used as service endpoint via the "Alias Address" and "Alias Service Port" options. The wildcard option will resolve to the IP/Port of the individual pool member. If you specify hard coded Alias values, the monitor would us it as the endpoint...

And yes... you probably dont need to use an external monitor script for that task. The Alias Option allows you easily to monitor a service on server X and based on its availability you would set server a,b,c in pool 1 UP or Down. 

Cheer, Kai
