Inband Monitoring with HTTP GET

I appear to be having a Brain lapse...I want to use inband monitoring...as long as our F5 sees responses for traffic, it should consider the pool member up but still do an HTTP GET every 1200 seconds. If it doesn't see the pool member as up, it should check it every 5 seconds. The 1200/5 second intervals are configurable from within the HTTP Monitor...do I also need to bind the default "inband" monitor the pool member as well?

    I recently tested an in-band monitor where I had multiple pools assigned to an iRule being called from an iApp. If I placed the in-band monitor on the pool itself, it would not work. If I placed the inband monitor on the app and the pool, it worked. So, that would at least be one solution.

    If I read you correctly, then yes, you will need to apply an inband monitor to the pool to take advantage of its properties. You can use the default inband monitor if it meets your needs, or create a custom one if you need to tweak the timers or failure counter.
