Two points to consider.
A gateway doesn't have an AMPR IP address. It supports a range of addresses, and only those in the DNS will be reachable from non-AMPR addresses, Which will you ping?
Some gateway software will not accept any packets from non-AMPR addresses to its AMPR address range.
On your original question, I currently have 530 gateways in my list. I'd consider every 5 minutes a bit excessive, even if spread over the 5 minute interval. Others may disagree!

(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ Is making 3Pings to about 400 Gateways worldwide from non AMPR IP to their AMPR ip every 5 minutes consider acceptable thing to do ?
_______________________________________________ Please remember that all the tunnel gateways are sharing a single router and network connection at UCSD. I think it would be unwise to set up multiple network monitors -- one or two should be enough.
Please be respectful of your network neighbors. - Brian
