Yes, by bastion, I meant an SSH jump host.

Yes, I realise that the ansible ping module is not ICMP, but an SSH 
connection. The SSH jump host doesn't have ansible installed, and I don't 
have root access on it. I can of course install ansible in a virtualenv, 
but I was hoping for some cleverer way of detecting host down/up from 
within a playbook run from my laptop. I suppose my use-case is an outlier, 
so I'll try to see what I can do on the jump host.
