Hi WHPH...

Your host: header should just have the FQDN in it... And nothing else. You've got a URI appended to it... I'd make the monitor SEND string 


  GET /login HTTP/1.1\r\nhost: voltage-ps-0000.domain.com\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n

although the connection close shouldn't be needed because the F5 will close it anyway. The actual URI required (I've use /login above) is going to depend on exactly what the voltage server is expecting... It might be required to snoop the URI's being sent and if any other headers are required to complete the request properly.
