As you can only enter an IP for the host to be
monitored, sites relying on name-based hosting may
fail. It would be nice to have a way to check these
http URLs in addition to IP-based URLs. This would
require that the "agent" performing the http request
send the URL along in a Host: header, which I believe
is supported by PHP.

    I think this is based on a misunderstanding on my part, as
    in the most recent release the ip-address field in the
    interface has a max size of 15 characters. I changed it to
    30 and it appears it will serve fine as a hostname rather
    than strictly as an ip address. This however, may be a bug (?)

    Yes, name based hosting should already work. I'll make a
    note to remove the character limit on the IP address field
    for the next version.
