Want to test machine if EITHER of two other machines is up

[Kelly Jones]

I use vMotion to auto-move several VMs between two VM servers: vm1 and vm2.

I want to monitor these VMs if *either* of vm1 *or* vm2 is up, not
necessarily both.

Is there any easy way to do this? "parents vm1,vm2" requires both to be up.

My hack solution was to create a fake "vm-either" machine whose check
command is effectively "ping vm1 || ping vm2", and then make vm-either
the parent of all my VMs.

Is there a better way?
