So my results are above and my script is below: 

!/bin/sh  
  remove IPv6/IPv4 compatibility prefix (LTM passes addresses in IPv6 format)  
 IP=`echo ${1} | sed 's/::ffff://'`  
  IP=${1}  
 PORT=${2}  
 PIDFILE="/var/run/`basename ${0}`.${IP}_${PORT}.pid"  
  kill of the last instance of this monitor if hung and log current pid  
 if [ -f $PIDFILE ]  
 then  
 kill -9 `cat $PIDFILE` > /dev/null 2>&1  
 fi  
 echo "$$" > $PIDFILE  
  send request & check for expected response  
 curl -L --ntlm -k -v --user 'me@me.org:mememe' http://${IP}:${PORT}/whatsup.aspx -H "Host: intranet.acc.org" | grep -i "1-UP" 2>&1 > /dev/null  
  mark node UP if expected response was received  
 if [ $? -eq 0 ]  
 then  
 echo "UP"  
 fi  
 rm -f $PIDFILE  
 exit

I figured someone would want to see my script, here it is.
