[Xymon] The testip option does not seem to be honored by the http test

I have the following in my hosts.cfg file:

10.100.2.131 fourqueens.REDACTED.com # testip ssh mgmt=10.2.6.131[http,https,ssh] https://megaagency.REDACTED.com delayred=http:10 10.100.2.132 fitzgeralds.REDACTED.com # testip ssh mgmt=10.2.6.132[http,https,ssh] https://megaagency.REDACTED.com delayred=http:10

The "mgmt" option controls a custom server-side script we wrote that verifies reachability of the out-of-band server management (Dell DRAC in this case).

I had expected the "testip" option to force the https URL test to be sent directly to the server, not the DNS address (which is a load balancer), but I can see the load balancer cookie in the response and requests in the load balancer's log.

Is there any way to get the intended behavior?

The server is running 4.3.23 with the patch to fix http response code interpretation.

Thanks, Shawn
