Content status

Question

I have a content rule on a CSS 11501 running version 07.40.1.03 that has two services assigned to it. If both of these services are down the content rule still shows as alive on the css. What I would like the ability to do is to either use snmp to monitor a content rule for being down or be able to create an rmon event to generate a trap as I have not been able to find a useful OID for a content rule status.
So a twofold question.
First off, should the content rule show as down (or dead) when all of the service's that are attached to it are down? If so what might I be missing?
Secondly (if there is a method to show the rule as being down, is there an OID that will show a status change for a content rule?
Copy of one of my two services, the other being the same except for on a different address.
service testhearcimportservice591
ip address 172.25.6.33
keepalive frequency 20
keepalive retryperiod 20
keepalive method get
keepalive type http
active
Copy of the content rule
content testarcimportservice
vip address 172.16.5.211
add service testhearcimportservice591
add service testhearcimportservice592
protocol tcp
port 80
url "/*"
balance leastconn
advanced-balance sticky-srcip-dstport
active
Any assitance in this matter is greatly appreciated.
