Ok looks like the check_icmp that I had installed wasn't the one you had
written.  I installed that one, and all is well, thanks again.

This is the perfect plugin for doing internet detection, the whole
discussion of what hosts to check is a completely different subject.  Quite
frankly unless anyone has intimate knowledge about the network setup of
these site, or their policies or view about this sort of thing, it is
similar to a bunch of old guys sitting around smoking pipes and
philosophizing about the existence of life on other planets.  

All I was looking for was a way to check a number of hosts, and return ok if
at lease one of them was up, and now I have it.

Thanks Andreas

Miles
