      Hi

      i currently do 2 checks
      1) icmppingsec to return ping times
      2) icmping to test if host is up

      I have found icmppingsec and trigger on nodata() to give me lots of false results. This I think is about the server not being able to process all the info and me using a proxy and the amount of time it take to get to server ... we are not large .. maybe 30-40 server and the rtt between proxy and server is only 100ms

      it seems to be a bit of waste to do 2 test doing about the same thing. I was wondering if icmppingsec could be slightly changed to return a -1 if it fails. that way you can test last(#1) = -1
