There is check_fping, which is a parser for the fping program. I've 
modified it quite a bit to be standalone, and I'll post it to 
nagiosplug-devel as soon as I get it tested a bit more.
It marks its packets a bit more carefully, so these kinds of problems 
don't happen, works faster than regular ping (by using raw sockets) and 
gives clever precision output (instead of down to 1/1000000 of a 
millisecond, as the regular check_fping).
