{bb} Testing a ping from another machine?

["Kimberly McKinnis" <kmckinnis@macrovision.com>]

This is going to sound very silly, but I'm wondering if there's a
solution and I'm just not thinking out of the box enough. The machines
at my data center (where the BB server is located) can't talk to the VPN
due to certain routing. The VPN has been flakey and I want to monitor it
somehow. I have a handful of machines at the office that can talk to
both the VPN and BB. Is there a way to bounce some sort of check through
another machine to check if the VPN is alive, and send it back to BB? 

I could probably write some basic shell script to ping and run it in
bb/ext/ from another client, but is there a better way? 

Thanks!
