The difficulty would be not contributing to the deathhug. You could check if it's accessible at all if everyone accessed a server that was itself polling the site every minute, but trying to gauge beyond "accessible" and "not accessible" seems difficult. Best would be if a site could report its availability status on its own externally. Anyone know of an existing service where you can report the status of your website?
