icmpping<hostaddress> for multiple interfaces

[pikmaster]

Hi

If I have a host with two interfaces (eg. eth0 and eth1), how can I check if ping goes for both eth0 and eth1?
If I create a host with IP address assigned to one interface, i can use icmpping check.
But when I want to check second interface, I can't do that, because icmpping does not allow me to give IP address as a parameter.

What I did so far, I created another host which I named hostname-eth1, but I would love to have them seen as a one host, not two separate entries.

Is there any alternative for this?

You could create a script that pings a host and call it from Zabbix. Bit of a kludge.

This would be an external check, I'm concerned about the performance drop. Zabbix manual says not to overuse them.
