Hey all,

 

What would you recommend we use to allow our primary server to actively check the server status of all of our other remote systems?  We could set up a script to ping each of the other IPs on an interval but I am worried about letting the systems acknowledge ping requests due to the risk of DDOS attacks.  Is this still the best way or is there something else out there.  We have a system that has a DSL connection (static IP) that is going south every night (modem reset required).  We want to know when it goes offline and be notified so we can fix the problem and document the event.  Our server sits on an internal address and we port forward the usual stuff to it (21, 22, 80, etc) so we can talk Linux server to Linux server and/or Linux server to remote router.  Of course SBC is little to no help on this in the troubleshooting arena.  I am beginning to think it is a failing modem (Cayman is crap).  We have swapped out the router twice and relocated it.  We have also double checked all the phone lines, filtering, Ethernet etc.

 

Thanks,
