See my initial reply in this thread:

| The hostname www.google.ro now¹ also resolves to an IPv6 address, and
| check_ping has issues with IPv6 dependending on the ping6(1)
| implementation used.  These issues will hopefully be fixed in the next
| release of the Nagios Plugins; until then, "check_ping -4 [...]" should
| do the trick.
