In addition to creating the load-balanced set, you can create mounts for the
individual machines.  For example, if you have

    ApJServMount /j balance://set/j

and you add machines m1..m3 to the load-balance set, you can also add

    ApJServMount /j_m1 m1/j
    ApJServMount /j_m2 m2/j
    ApJServMount /j_m3 m3/j

This will allow you to individually address the machines through your
normally balanced web server.  I don't know enough about apache/jserv to
know if you could add security so that these mount points are not accessible
from the "outside."

Although this will tell you if the individual machines are responding, it
doesn't exercize the jserv load balancer, so if it goes, you still don't
know.

Hope this helps,
Dan
