Using Apex to find out if an IP address is up

AntillesJun 10 2009 — edited Jun 16 2009
Is there any way to ping an IP address using Apex and check for a response?

My application has a requirement to display a list of IP addresses (routers) and periodically check that they are still active.

I thought about an Oracle table to hold a list of the IP addresses, then a PL/SQL cursor to run through the list, ping each one, then check for a response. I could then pass this info back to Apex somehow and display an alert if an IP address doesn't respond.

Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?
