Turning VS off when nodes down

If monitors mark all your pool members down, the vip will be marked down. If you disable all the pool members, but monitors are still affective, you also need to change the the pool member settings to active traffic only. That way, once all active traffic is bled off, the virtual will be marked down.

 

 

Basically I was saying, disabling ping is not an option you could bind to the virtual server availability since more than one virtual server is possible on an IP, and this logic rides higher in the stack than icmp.
