[squid-users] checking link availability

I want squid to detect whether the internet link is avaliable or not.
And then of course, if not available, have squid to inform people that the problem is
coming from our ISP, not from squid nor anything else.

What comes to mind is to ping to our ISP's router (or DNS server, as
this morning squid returned ERR_DNS_FAIL when the link from ISP was
down) and then pass the result to squid...

Is it possible that squid can can interpret the ping result ? How ?

What is squid's pinger all about ? Where to find more about pinger ?

Any idea would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance and regards,
aqil
