PING, NT Service, URL, etc. (basically any and all).

Oh, SA recovers on the next round just fine.  Just really annoying to 
get about 50-75 pages all saying "RUNNING" when a) there was no 
interruption that can be detected by any other means (i.e. outside 
monitors continue to run, I can be term served into the boxes in 
question when PING and other alerts fail, etc.)

And b) annoying that we don't get the DOWN alerts first. (though like 
I say, I suspect that's because it can't find the email server by 
name, so we've changed it to IP address to see what happens.)
