Default Setting up a headphone mix-anyway to monitor?

Guys,
Is the any simpleway in protools to monitor what I am sending to my headphone amp, via and Aux channel, through my main monitors?
I find setting up a headphone mix a real PITA in protools, unless you put on another set of phones connected to the headphone amp you have no idea whats going on!.
Fader flip in the OO3 is kinda OK but the "send" name appears, not the track names so you have no idea what fader is what!
Theres got to be an easier way!
Help!
JG

Yeah, I must agree that fader flip would be cool, IF you didn't lose the track name(already offered this as a feature request so please add on). Setting headphone mixes gets a lot easier if you add a headphone amp. The Behringer HA4700 works very well at a little over 100 bucks. I feed 4 sends(from the HA4700) out to my 2 rooms. These can be 4 separate mixes(from PT), or(what I usually do) 4 identical mixes of the main with each section getting its own "more me" sends. I use the rear jacks to feed the studio and I can plug another set of phones into the front to listen to any of the 4 mixes(use the same model of phones for everyone for the most accurate listening).

Thanks for the reply,
But is there anyway to monitor the send on your main monitors rather than having to plug a set of phones into the headphone amp.
I came from an Akai DPS24 and it had a dedicated button for this. Once pressed the mains played the headphone mix going out the Aux channels, not the main mix.
Thanks'
