I can only see a bypass solution.
It would mean that you modify both webservers and have it access not only
site.com as hostheader, but also something else.
you could set it to
site.com1 on the 1st webserver
and
site.com2 on the 2nd webserver
Then on the system running Servers Alive you could create within the hostfile
site.com1 pointing to the IP of webserver1
site.com2 pointing to the IP of webserver2
And do from within Servers Alive 2 URL checks, one for site.com1 and one for
site.com2

Subject: [SA-list] Checking Redunant Web Servers
I am currently monitoring and alerting on a http url just fine. But we
recently added another web server for the site. It is being load
balanced by round robin DNS.
So when you try to connect to http://site.com it goes to 1 of 2 servers
depending on the IP received from the DNS server.
My question is, how can I monitor and alert of each web server
independently?
Our site requires a specific host header (site.com) and I cannot access
the sites by using the url as the IP. On my desktop, I modify my host
file to hard set DNS to point to one server or another.
Is there a way to hard set an IP for a host? So I could have 2 hosts
that are monitoring http://site.com, but each is hard set to a different
IP.
Can I have it run a script (cmd or bat file) before a host check where I
could modify my host file?
Thanks in advance.
