Hi,

the VirtualDomain resource agent provides the parameter monitor_scripts. This 
hook is a space separated list of your scripts that monitors the virtual 
machine. You can take some inspriration the nagios check scripts to monitor 
your domain controller.

Be sure to make the timeout of the start operation long enough.
