Have a look at arping(8) and it's -U flag in particular rather than ping.
Also read 'man ifup'. That refers you to
/usr/share/doc/initscripts*/sysconfig.txt
which talks about the ifup-post script. Looking at the end of ifup-post,
we see the following:
if [ -x /sbin/ifup-local ]; then
/sbin/ifup-local ${DEVICE}
fi
So it's probably the case that you could create a /sbin/ifup-local
that, based on the device name, may arping the gateway.
I was looking at my RHEL6 laptop when I was writing this, but C6 is almost
certainly the same.
