    Any recommendations from the community at large regarding
    the security implications of such an enhancement?

    If we make the "ping" an actual webobject instead of
    hard-coding it into web-disp, then we could use FFW's
    IP-based security for this.

    Things that could possibly be included in the ping:

    - Agent PID
    - Connected Databases
    - Output of wtbman query for the broker

    Other ideas?
