Neat idea! A temporary solution may be this: $ fping -a -q 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 8.4.4.8 | xargs -n1 host 8.8.8.8.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer google-public-dns-a.google.com. 4.4.8.8.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer google-public-dns-b.google.com. $ (The "alive" is implicit since only hosts being alive were listed.)
