Am I oversimplifying the problem to suggest you just reverse your thinking? If it does
not show up in one of the tools for finding live IPs, then it would be "not in use".
If you have a DHCP server, your best bet is to create an exclusion range to use for
static IPs. Even if an IP is not in use right now, it may be contained within a DHCP
scope, and could be assigned later, causing no end of headaches down the road.

Subject: IP Scanner that finds unused IPs?
Looking for a tool that will scan my Class C and report which IPs are
currently NOT in use. Have found plenty of tools that report what is live.
Anyone have a tool like that? Want to use it to verify available static IP
addresses.
