Re: [BLUG] Bad Weather? Geek Play Time

If you have something to ping, I can setup a nagios check that can
email you if it goes out. I find that a cheap solution is to give a
print server or an extra broadband router and IP address that your
external router forwards icmp too. Then don't put that device on a UPS
and that should give you a good idea of if the power is out.

I actually have a domain bloomingtonnetworks.com that I was working on
setting up for this kind of thing. I don't have a public side to that
yet, but its already monitoring Suso, IU, City Govt., Smithville, Kiva, etc.
