Synopsis: Occasionally a cgi-bin returns 'server failed' State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: dgaudet State-Changed-When: Sun Jun 22 21:20:32 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: I totally suspect this is because the pipe to the fping child is generating a SIGPIPE or something similar causing the entire CGI to abort. You should get an error in the error_log when this happens though, have you looked? In any event it's not likely apache itself causing the error. These problems are almost always related to the cgi interface and cgis dying before spitting out anything.
Thanks for using Apache! Dean
