Described herein are systems and methods for use with a load balancer or traffic director, and administration thereof, wherein the traffic director is provided as a software-based load balancer that can be used to deliver a fast, reliable, scalable, and secure platform for load-balancing Internet and other traffic to back-end origin servers, such as web servers, application servers, or other resource servers. In accordance with an embodiment, the system comprises a traffic director having one or more traffic director instances, which is configured to receive and communicate requests, from clients, to origin servers having one or more pools of servers. A health check subsystem periodically checks the health of its configured resource servers, and also attempts to detect changes in the one or more pools, by sending requests to any new server instances configured as origin servers within the pool, receiving appropriate responses, and updating the configuration accordingly.
