fping - Utility to ping multiple hosts at once

Description:
fping is a ping-like program which uses the Internet Control Message
Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a target host is responding.

fping is different from ping in that you can specify any number of hosts
on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists of hosts to
ping. Instead of trying one host until it timeouts or replies, fping will
send out a ping packet and move on to the next host in a round-robin fashion.

If a host replies, it is noted and removed from the list of hosts to check.
If a host does not respond within a certain time limit and/or retry limit it
will be considered unreachable.
