HELP Setting up HTTP Form Login

I want the ability to monitor the availabilty to login to Outlook Web Access.

OWA Infrastructure: Our OWA is being proxied through 3 ISA servers that is being Load Balanced externally and round robin internally.

I have HTTP Form Login working, HOWEVER because of the design the URL(Lets say it's called Webmail) will test Webmail which will point you to 1 of the 3 ISA servers. ISA server1 and ISA server2 could be working without a glitch while ISA server3 could have issues providing the OWA form login page.

Even though ISA server3 was down, I did not get a "down" alert, because apperently the alert was testing using ISA server1 and ISA server2.

How can I configure this to remedy a situation like this?

Thank you.....

Hello,
The only way I see is to create three separate component that will monitor each server directly (without using load balancer to get access). Otherwise you will not get alert unless all servers are down or not functional.

The issue with that is how can setup 3 seperate monitors when they are using a single URL?

Well, this is matter of network topology and access rights you have set up. I can imagine three different mirrored web servers that you can access directly from the inside where each different URL will contain IP address of server and all could be accessed from the outside through one single load balancer server that translates unified URL to specific ones.

It depends on configuration.

1 "Outlook Web Access" server and 3 ISA servers. There is 3 host records....all webmail pointing to three different IP's (each IP of the ISA server). So if I ping webmail.domainname I get a response from ISA server1(example 1.1.1.1). If I ping webmail.domainname I get response from ISA server2 (exapmple 1.1.1.2). If I ping webmail.domainname for a third time...I get response from ISA server3 (example 1.1.1.3).
