Time and knowledge.  The ISP I do contract work for is moving its 
hardware location and business office, and moving to a whole new IP 
range.  This under some sudden time constraints.  :-(
    Throw in replacing WhatsUpGold with Nagios, upgrading the hardware 
for the LV hosts, and a few other things I can't mention or remember and 
  the time-thing gets to big.

Currently I'm just using check_ping on the hosts but was thinking there 
might be a better check, especially for LV, and this is where the 
knowledge-thing comes into play.

Cursed I am: living in interesting times! :-)
