Couple of suggestions:

1) use -f follow in your check_http call to follow redirects.  (See 
check_http -help for details.)

2) I've found that HTTP servers using virtual hosting work a bit 
differently than other HTTP servers.  i.e.,

GET /foo.html HTTP/1.0

vs.

GET /foo.html HTTP/1.0
Host: myvirtualdomain.com


So I use 2 different check_http calls for this:

define command {
	command_name	check_http
	command_line	$USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -f follow $ARG1$ 
$ARG2$ $ARG3$
}

define command {
	command_name	check_http_virtual
	command_line	$USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -f follow $ARG1$ 
$ARG2$ $ARG3$
}
