This is correct. The domain name is not necessary. Since the CSS knows the ip address of the box it's watching it doesn't have to rely on a domain name to find the location of the server.
However it is important that the css know the path to reach the reference page. I've used the following: service blah_blah ip address 10.1.1.1 keepalive frequency 8 keepalive type http keepalive uri "/.reference/arrowpoint-keepalive.html" active I usually use the default "head" method vs the "get". Depends on whether the file you are watching is static or dynamic.

We simply use 'keepalive uri "/index.htm"' and that works well. Give that a shot and see if it works for you.
