If I read this right, at least one or two folks out there would like a
variant of check_f?ping that accepted multiple IPs and returned an error
status only if all the IPs were unreachable. 

A plugin with that behavior is not too hard. It could be done as a new
feature pretty quickly, once we get the 1.3.0 plugins released. I don't
think you can specify multiple IPs for a host defintion, however (of
course I cold be wrong, I have not come close to fully using the power
of the templated configs). 

But even so, you can define the needed host check command -- you would
need to do it once for each interface in order to list them explicitly.
