node monitor vs pool monitor?

Hi there, I am dealing with a brainstorming scenario here. We have ICMP as the default monitor for the nodes globally. We have some servers in DMZ that do not respond to ICMP, but only http/https. The Pool level monitor will be HTTP. So if the node level monitor shows down but the pool monitor is up, how is that treated on the F5. Which one takes the preference?

    The node-level monitor will take precedence when the node-level monitor check is failing and the pool-level check is succeeding.
