I wrote a quick custom tag that could do this, it is at:
http://devex.allaire.com/developer/gallery/info.cfm?ID=B61BF303-2CE5-11D4-83D700508B94F85A&method=Full
It submits form input to another server using cfhttp. I would think that cfhttp
would return a trappable error if the server is not availible. (I did not build
this part in)
The source is included so do what you want with it, hope it helps

Subject: How to test whether 3rd Party cgi funtional?
We are using our pager vendor's web site to pass alphanumeric messages from
a form on our intranet to their site's CGI script. They in turn, process
the input form variables (To, From, Message) and send the message to the
individual pager's.
Due to their lack of server/CGI availablity, I need a way to determine
whether their:
1. server is up and available
2. cgi script is accepting input and funtioning properly
How would you experts go about determining the answers to the above
questions using CF?
Thanks,
Bill Ficke
