Sorry, REDHAT.
It doesn't matter what he tries. He's grabbed lots of different scripts off the web, some very elaborate, that do pings, and they all hang when he hits a node that is on the network, but doesn't respond to the ping. He suspects that the traps to do the timeout are being disabled by apache.and look for "number of packets to send". On a *Doze box, it's -n. On some *Nix boxes, it's -c.
