A strategy I use: Have a list of IPs to check, as high-availability as possible. Set a relatively low timeout for LWP. Loop through the IPs, checking each, and repeating the loop at least once. If you don't get a connection after that, you can be pretty certain there's something down between you and your destination. Oh, and use HEAD instead of GET, as it results in smaller, quicker responses. This gives you a more thorough check and often takes no longer than a single fetch via LWP with the default timeout. - Mark. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
