Have run into cases where a server will generate other dynamic content, as well as a case where the server admin accidentally posted a default page to their production server.

 

The monitor should run against the port that the pool member is configured for. In your case if the pool member is configured as 10.0.0.1:4443, the monitor should use that port by default. If you need to monitor a different port than configured for the pool member, use the 'advanced' settings in monitor configuration and configure the 'alias service port' for the monitor.
