If LTM issues an HTTP 30x redirect to an externally hosted site, it can't track the result of the client's subsequent request. If you want to have LTM monitor the state of a host, you could configure it in a pool and add a monitor. The caveat with this is that you'd need to hard code the IP address(es) for the external site in the pool. If you wanted to resolve the hostname to an IP address dynamically, you could create an external monitor to do this:
