Hi Arie,

 

I completely understand your points with regards to monitors. I am sorry as my questions were vague when it was talking about profiles.

 

I have seen that TCP profile alone is attached at VIP in our environement for loadbalancing proxies. My question was, should we need any other profiles to be attached in VIP or only TCP profile is enough ?

 

Also, I have seen External monitors are used in our environment. Could you pls help me to understand little bit about external monitors and can we see this in 10.x.x version ?

 

Responding to your questions on Bluecoat health check to test Internet connectivity, " YES" Bluecoat has its own health monitor to check internet access, but there are very limited conditions on health faliure.

 

Thanking you in advance
