I have been putting in 8.8.4.4 as the primary dns server nowadays since
it seems to get less traffic.

Right…
Was pinging 8.8.8.8 last night – 174ms.
Pinged 8.8.4.4 – 12ms.

Then every time Google's DNS goes down, all of your customers will be
calling... LOL

How about ping to 8.8.8.8?

What would be the determining factor? Ping DNS server OK?

A red/green led would probably suffice for this purpose.

Why a node fails probably won't be detectable by a machine
- in some cases it's difficult for a person to narrow it
down (radio, connectors, cables, ethernet, surge, etc) but
I'd like to see ideas on this of course.
I use/suggest an outgoing message. IF the customer is
having issues and they do call us, they hear we're having
issues and hang up. This means that we're not telling 100
people there are issues when 25 are effecting ending up
with 75 calls next month saying we owe them a credit when
they had nothing to do with an outage.

What I really want is an integrated system that isn't
stuck in the 90's.
I want the customer to have an app on their phone that
tells them when their network is having issues and why.
I want it to also remind them to pay their bill and
provide a lazy/easy way to do that.
I want that same system to have an engineer app that
tells us when nodes fail and why.
So if a node goes down and it's important, it should
show up on my phone and I can take action.
One of those actions would be to message to outage
impacted customers the ETA to fix etc.
Emails from Cacti don't count.
