Are you wanting a web interface or a windows desktop application. IP Sentry is a good application. You could set up a Perl script running in Linux that can do ping requests to the IP addresses of your servers periodically. If a server doesn't respond it can inform you. IP Sentry's website address is http://www.ipsentry.com/ For some great Perl scripts, try out this site http://www.cgiscript.net/index.htm http://www.covenantdata.com ...Where data becomes information.
