Or that, which has the same risk as #3 - basically it means doing some network traffic to find what systems are around. It's still imperfect, because it's likely that a down server will simply not be in the list - someone could go through all the hosts on the list, ping them all, and think that everything's fine. But yes, nmap is more reliable than a broadcast ping, for what it's worth. ChrisA
