LB::status question

If I use [LB::status up] to check the status of a node/pool member, is the returned true/false a function of the monitor results? For example, if I have used LB::down on a server during an LB_FAILED event, and the servers come back after a reboot and monitors are again UP, what will LB::status return since I forced the node down? If it returns false, how do you check for when to use the LB::up command to return servers to service?
