monitoring multiple ports on a host

I got this new application and the developer wants all the traffic from several applications sent to port 80 no problem there. But he wants me to monitor a different port to see if the service is up or not. He also wants me to monitor 80 and if it is down take the node out entirely.why won't you assign two monitors to pool? one is for port 80 and the other one is for another port.

[root@ve1023:Active] config  b pool foo list
pool foo {
   monitor all http and mycustom
   members 200.200.200.101:80 {}
}
[root@ve1023:Active] config  b monitor mycustom list
monitor mycustom {
   defaults from http
   dest *:8888
}

but then at the node level you can't monitor http, it doesn't show up?since node does not port configuration, monitor has to configure specific port such as mycustom monitor above.

Then secondly at the pool level, can you monitor a port that you aren't sending traffic to?yes. mycustom monitor above is an example.
