(Another questionable choice as I recall was to consider 4xx an error.
Dep. on what you need, you may want to treat only some 5xx codes as

Which is precisely what I do: I monitor on the host with (more or less)
"lsof -i | grep httpd.+\*:http" and I've nagios in another subnet
checking the actual webpages. (Obviously, there's then gateways and
