monitoring routers

[Melanie Pfefer]

hello,

I am using check_ping command to monitor routers.

1] What's the main difference between check_ping and
check_fping?

I have "local routers" and remote routers. The
check_ping command for local routers is:

check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%

This generated a warning for the remote ones so I had
to create a new hostgroup and run check_ping with
higher RTT time:

check_ping!4000.0,20%!4000.0,60%

I would like to know the best practices you follow
with routers in terms of commands you use
(check_ping/check_fping/...others).

Also, what is the alternative if I prefer to have 1
hostgroup for all routers (remote and local) without
receiving an ongoing warning about remote routers.

PS: remote routers are in another country
I am using nagios 2.9 on Linux
