What is the correct send and receive strings syntax for health monitoring of multiple servers in a pool ?

Hi,   I am trying to configure our F5 LB to monitor multiple servers in a pool but having some issues. Can someone help. See below:   Send string GET /maximo/webclient/login/login.jsp HTTP/1.1\...

Yes we use the GTM for dns resolution of maximo.company.com to a VIP on the LTM. What am trying to get at is how does the BIGIP use the host name in the HTTP 1.1 GET request to the real node?

 

Does it ignore the host name and just does health check on the real servers ip addresses and ports ?

 

For example in this below:

 

ET /maximo/webclient/login/login.jsp HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: maximo.company.com\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n

 

maximo.company.com is the dns name that users type in their browser and the gtm resolves it to the VIP on the LTM for clients traffic. What about reqular health checks by the LTM ?
