I have done this using curl with a grep statement then wc -l. Basically if I don't see something in the HTML that I expect, I make the DNS change. If you want to just check if port 80 is up, you can use nc (netcat). I think nc -u hostname 80 | grep successful | wc -l By using curl, you are testing more. For an example, you could have a php error that renders a site incorrectly but port 80 will still be up. I just use a simple if else statement. Let me know if you need my example script. I use this all the time. I use zenloadbalancer which uses pound. It would be nice if bind was installed by default for a true f5 GTM type of feature. I also have scripts that will modify the zone record on both bind nameservers that can be executed with arguments.
