Hi Gajji,

 

yes, both loadbalancers will send the health checks to the server. They do this, so that both of them individually "know" the health status of the server. If the standby device would not know the health status in case of a failover event, it might send traffic to a server that id down.

 

For the "dynamic" URL I am not quite sure what you mean. Something like "/admin/status.php?appID=02"?

I think it will not differ from health checking a static URI. If you have a proper receive string it should work.
