Really dumb question - how do folks distinguish unreachable from over threshold ?

[Stanley.Hopcroft at Dest.gov.au]

Dear Folks,

Is it possible to use the standard plugin distro check_ping to
distinguish 
a reachability failure brought about by sluggish transport and one
caused
by a routing failure.

What occurs to me at the moment is to either 

1 don't use check_ping in cases of volatile routing (examine routing
with SNMP or CLI)

2 have a service event handler that reacts to 'plugin time out' (by
ultimately generating 
a HOST_DOWN passive service check result if the routing has failed).

Thank you,

Yours sincerely,


S Hopcroft
