Just for completeness sake, note that we can monitor applications

 

with BIG-IP v9.x. In this version you would create a pool for

 

each application. Each pool would be monitored by a different monitor

a pool down, the corresponding application will not get traffic, but

 

the other pools will remain up, receiving traffic.
