Possible to monitor HTTP port?

I’ve used a variety of web services and software to tell me if my server is “up and running” by monitoring if it can get a response on port 80 (HTTP) and 443 (SSL). In the past I’ve used services like montastic.com and siteuptime.com and software like What’s Up Gold. Is it possible to use Domino Domain Monitor to provide a similar service?

I have two different servers in two different data centers - so my thought it they could monitor each other.

Another alternative: is there a generic database out there that someone has used to do HTTP requests and process the response? Do I need to write one? : )

and you should be able to do similar monitoring with DDM

Why not use the UI workspace URLOpen method in a scheduled agent? You would not have to write much code at all to do that.
