If check_ping calls the normal ping utility you will need to rewrite it
for IPv6. Your normal ping will not handle IPv6 addresses. That will be
the job of ping6 on most systems.

And 4400:34 may be valid syntax for a IPv6 address. But to the best of my
knowledge it is not a valid IPv6 address. Valid ranges will be 2000::
untill 3fff:: for public addreses and fe80:: and upwards for link-local
addresses.

And check_host does work on IPv6 addresses as I have several IPv6 only
systems in my setup which I can contact just fine.

A manual test here:

./check_ping -H 2001:888:10fa:1 -w 100,20% -c 500,50%
check_ping: Invalid hostname/address - 2001:888:10fa:1
