fping, from Stanford originally, now at www.fping.com
might be useful, it pings multiple hosts at the same time 
(fast, efficient) It has easy to parse output and easily gives results
like:

fping -e <targets 
www.chatt.net is alive (0.32 ms)
www.att.net is alive (27.5 ms)
www.uu.net is unreachable
