The ping handler is how we tell our load balancers that our Solr cores are healthy. I guess if you're running more than one core behind the same balancer, it would make sense to drop a webapp in there that ran the ping queries for all your cores and only responded OK if they all came back OK.
Or if you have one core that's the most important, you could only use that ping handler. Or you could invent your own check if you think that the criteria for "up" should be different than what the ping handler offers.
