an admin panel would be great but way out of my price range so a simple php scrypt would be good all it has to do is ping a server and say online or offline the rest i can cobble together over time. its just somewhere to start.
I have some time on monday... If it's just a page without layout, that just pings a server (or list of predefined servers) and returns online/offline (green image/ red image), i'll write it during my monday's lunchbreak.
Send me a PM with the nodes you want pinged, and the environment the script will run on (OS, webserver, ...) i'll reply with a quote.
IF you agree with the price, i'll go first (i'll write the code and send it to you, you pay me after you receive and verify the code).
It's not really my style, but you have some nice positive trust, and it would only be a small job
