Configure separate host for each http endpoint monitoring

Hi,

I am trying to basic http endpoint checks for ~40 websites (if 200,301, 302, 304 - OK, else: critical)
I was wondering if it is a good practice to configure separate hosts for each http endpoint to monitor? Like adding multiple hosts all with 127.0.0.1 IP address and as a service for each one indicate one of my http endpoints. Since I can't configure more than one check_http for each host. Even if I do it with a custom script, I am not clear how should I see the result for each endpoint.
Please share some experience on how you resolve this.

Thank you.

you would want each of these to be separate if you want a different alert telling you which was down.
