Hi EtienneMT,

Basically I would like to be able to disabled sending request to particular node within a server pool for a particular host header in case there is an issue on that particular website.

The recommended way to achive your requirement is to create a dedicated pool for each individual web application (in your case always pointing to the same set of nodes) and use a handcrafted Health-Monitor for each pool/web application to check for the web application availability on the individual pool members.

Then simply parse the 

[HTTP::host]
value for each arriving HTTP-Request and forward the request to the designated pool name for this application.

Cheers, Kai
