CSS Keepalive for two applications on same IIS server

Question

We have 2 IIS servers running two MOSS 2007 appications. The app owners want keepalives setup for each application which each application is using the same IP and just different hostnames. So I need an example to do keepalives using a hostname / uri index.html for example rather then it using the IP address.
I'm inheriting a system and don't want to break what's working so any examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jim

Jim,
This is how I utilize 1 server with multiple web sites. The web server is configured to respond to http host headers. For this to work DNS needs to be correct. Each web site has a keepalive file for the script to check.
service connections-1
ip address 1.1.1.1
keepalive port 80
redundant-index 8001
keepalive type script ap-kal-httptag "connections1.company.com /keepalive/lb.htm connections1"
keepalive frequency 15
active
service datacentacc-1
ip address 1.1.1.1
keepalive port 80
redundant-index 8030
keepalive type script ap-kal-httptag "datacenteraccess1.company.com /keepalive/lb.htm datacenteraccess1"
keepalive frequency 15
active
DNS entries for the individual web sites will point to the servers. I.E. connections1.company.com = 1.1.1.1
datacenteraccess1.company.com = 1.1.1.1
The Content rules will be the following.
content connections
vip address 2.2.2.2
advanced-balance sticky-srcip
redundant-index 8000
add service connections-1
protocol tcp
port 80
url "//connections.company.com/*"
active
content datacenteraccess
vip address 2.2.2.2
advanced-balance sticky-srcip
redundant-index 8025
add service datacentacc-1
port 80
protocol tcp
url "//datacenteraccess.company.com/*"
active
