And that's something to keep in mind. For example you could ping our
domino server GDISYS01. But that ping would be returned by the i it is
running on (GDISYS). Even if the domino server were down. So I agree
with the mysterious author "ibm" that opening a socket to the service
itself would be more advantageous.

Why is that an issue if the only goal is to determine whether you have a
connection to the server? Did I miss something?
