IIS Host Headers and ECV health monitoring

As Deb was saying, I think you'll need one monitor per web application/virtual host that shares an IP address and port with another web app. If you have multiple vhosts configured on the same IP:port and you want to be able to disable one vhost without affecting another vhost on the same IP:port, you would need to specify the vhost name in the monitor send string.

 

 

In other words, if you need to use a Host header to tell IIS which vhost you're making the request to, you would need a new monitor with the host header value specified in the 'send string'.

 

 

As far as I'm aware, there isn't a way to implement NTLM authentication using a single HTTP request, so either you'd need to allow another auth type, configure a page which doesn't require auth or use an external monitor that can handle NTLM auth (curl supports NTLM).
