Multithreaded multiple ping targets from a remote server through nrpe / nsclient.

For example, if you have a remote site with one server, you can then use it to ping different targets (local switch, google...).

Return number of online/offline targets.

the multithreaded allow a quick execution even with high number of targets, even if they are offline.

typical execution time: 1.75 seconds per target, in average

Provide performance data to get the ratio offline/online.

Can specify number of target that must be offline before triggering warning and critical state.
