monitoring external internet connectivity

[shadih rahman]

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,
Shadhin Rahman
