Well ich ICMP is blocked, the only thing that you can do is check a 
certain service and use that result as "host up" information.

You could write a check using NMAP and use the reult of that, but for a 
host with only 1 service running it will be very difficult to decide 
whether the host or the service is down without using icmp (or having 
the host send ist own check results via NSCA)
