I guess you do have another port bound to the virtual server - something like:

port 1234 of the real server is bound to the virtual server but you would like to base the real servers health at a health check which is getting done to port 80 of the real server - correct?

If so: The ServerIron offers port-policies and healthck's to do something like this:

healthck:

healthck myhck tcp
  dest-ip 1.2.3.4
  port http
  protocol http
  protocol http url "GET /something.html"
  interval 6
  retries 2
  l7-check

server real test 1.2.3.4
 port 1234
 port 1234 healthck myhck

server virtual whatever 5.6.7.8
  port 1234
  bind 1234 test 1234


port-policies are slightly different:

server port 1235
 tcp

server port-policy mpp
  port http
  protocol http
  protocol http url "GET /whatever.html"
  keepalive-interval 6

server real test 1.2.3.4
 port 1235
 port 1235 use-port-policy mpp

server virtual whatever 5.6.7.8
  port 1235
  bind 1235 test 1235

You do not have to define a destination IP in a port-policy which allow it to reuse port-policies. Healtck's do require an IP address and you need to define a single healthck per real server which is some more work but more flexible.

Is it possible to have a healthcheck to a port that is not bound on the virtual server?
