Difference between ICMP and GATEWAY_ICMP
Hi All,
This is a pretty dumb question, but what's the difference between using the ICMP and GATEWAY_ICMP health monitors.
I've read up on it but still not 100% sure what the difference is.

In relation to a NODE, an ICMP and GATEWAY_ICMP health check would both do the same thing (ie: ping the node) - is that correct? So choosing either one will achieve the same result.
Whereas with a POOL, there is only the option to use GATEWAY_ICMP which will ping every member in the pool - is that correct?
Thanks.
Andy
