We have two internet connections from different ISPs for availability 
reasons.
In the past (when there only was one connection to the internet) we 
undergone the situation, that out ISP itself had connection problems to 
the rest of the worlds but out gateway to the ISP was fine and 
everything inside the ISP-Net was reachable - but not the rest of the 
world...

Now with two IPSs and two connections to the internet i decided to setup 
   the gateway to the IPSs as ping nodes and multiple ping_groups to the 
rest of the world. ping_group1 with DE hosts, ping_group2 with US hosts 
and ping_group3 with UK hosts and so on. so we can decide which ISP has 
the better connectivety to the world...
