Hi Moritz,

I guess it depends on what you are checking. Just for link... we check the
enternal interfaces of our firewalls, plus the next upstream hop (as configured
in the firewall). We also do root name server checks for DNS being alive.

We dont check anything else as we feel thats more than ample for us.

Cheers.
