I don't understand your request. "Server Timeout" *is* telling you that 
the web page isn't available. But maybe you can get what you want using 
the "httpstatus" directive.

The okstatusexpr and nokokstatusexpr expressions are Perl-compatible regular expressions, e.g. "2..|302" will match all OK codes and the redirect (302) status code. If the URL cannot be retrieved, the status is "999".

If okstatusexpr matched 999, 20X, and 30X, then it would remain green 
when the page was not returned.
