RE: how to tell if website hosted on iseries is down

Should work.  The only base not covered is DNS/Firewall issues.  If these
are all from your LAN, and you have DNS/Firewall issues it won't catch
those.  Which is why there are services for this...  But, you could also
just do it from your Home PC as well and have that covered.  :)
