I see this as a separate system administration function. Failure to connect
somewhere usually results in the user realising they specified the wrong
nodename, or a call to the network administrator because they checked their
typing and still can't connect. In my mind, that seems more than
sufficient. Why have a process automatically notified anytime a connect
fails? It seems the process would have to include responses like: "oops
you mistyped the remote nodename again..."

If you want reachability confirmation to specific/important end-points, then
a separate process to monitor that would be in order.
