There's always the ultime solution, create your own check (sometimes needed
for debugging purpose) :

    checktype=external
    checkport=443
    checkcommand="/usr/local/bin/check_mu_udp_server.sh"

which script may receive :
# $1 : IP virt
# $2 : Port virt
# $3 : IP real
# $4 : Port real
and just need to retun a value.

Hope usefull...
