Just an update on this:

As some have noticed - because it didn't compile - I have cooked up a
"hobbitping" utility to replace fping. On my system, fping took about
90 seconds to do a full sweep of the hosts. hobbitping takes 17 seconds,
of which 15 are a static 3x5 seconds delay while the non-responding hosts
timeout.

Eric was so kind as to confirm that it works on his system as well.

So it's goodbye fping - hello hobbitping.
  
Hi Henrik

many thanks for writing hobbitping ! It works fine on my test system 
(Gentoo Linux x86, glibc 2.3.6, GCC 3.4.6).

Is it / will it be possible to run it on top of a 4.1.2p1 installation ?
