I'm using an HTTP_GET check with a digest to see wether a certain
HTTP-GET-request to the server returns a 'yes' ...

Anything else is a reason to discontinue using the server. This way, you
can have a locally controlled 'active' flag without having to change
scripts/configs, restart keepalived, etc ...
