Just a thought...

I presume, correct me if i'm wrong, that if a peer goes down, it will be
completely unreachable, and not just the sip-part?

If so, i would have a look at the general management tools, like OpenNMS
Theses can monitor the presence, by means of ICMP, and can send alerts.

If not, you can still use OpenNMS, but you have to write a simpel (..)
script, like the line above (with some glue) so you can either read
asterisk out by means of snmp, or generate snmp-traps when a peer fails.

(perhaps these already exists?)
