FPING

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

I just checked fping.com.  Aside from the ability to be able to ping
multiple hosts at once (something which doesn't seem to be a useful feature
in Nagios, since check_fping still needs to specify only one host), there
doesn't appear to be any benefit to it.

Is there something I'm missing?
