You can create an appropriate health monitor (http/https) and configure it to perform a check against the URI you have in mind e.g.

GET /your/path/file.php HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: my.domain.com \r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

If you apply the monitor to your pool (ensure the members are configured to use the monitor). If a member is marked as being unhealthy because it fails the health check then new requests will be sent to an alternate pool member.

Customer complains that if one URI is having issue then the health monitor should mark it down. Else the traffic will still keep going to the same server again and again. Hence any URI among 20 may go down. so, we need to monitor them all. Kindly advice.
