monitoring external internet connectivity

[Mathew Walker]

do you host your website internally?  if not, ping that host and or do an HTTP check of it.

 

one thing i highly recommend is using a small little VPS ($10/mo even) to do some basic monitoring.  I use one personally for testing and to monitor my websites, friends websites, our email and dns services, etc.  Also I use it to monitor our corporate Nagios servers as a sanity check.  :-)

All,
  What is the best way to check if our network has connection to commodity internet or not.  What I am trying to achieve is to ensure internal network has connection to Internet.  One thing is to ping google check.  Is this a good idea or can someone suggest a better way to do this.  Please advise on this.  Thanks

Cordially,
