Sorry, I didn't mean dynamic ip or dhcp. The ip addresses are fixed.

When the servers are initially started the administrator decides what
services will run on each host and the load balancer figures out
where those services are running somehow.

The administrator runs startup scripts to start one or more [java]
services on each machine.

I plan to modify the scripts to remotely disable active service checks
and send a passive check result. I'll be doing this using ssh.

Sound sensible?
