Checking host alive and NSClient++

Hi,

I have a server at a remote site which uses a router that WONT allow
forwarding of ICMP (aka ping) traffic to the server. As a result, the
check-host-alive command for that server currently actually shows the
state of the router, not the server itself.

This isn't good for me as the adsl line they use is up and down like a
yo-yo.

Is there a command I can create using NSClient++ that will check to see
the state of the host WITHOUT pinging, perhaps instead using a check of
the NSClient++ itself.

Olly
