I am also very interested in this functionality.  At one point there was

an application available called iaxping with would send a set of well 
formed iax packets and wait for the response.  Unfortunately that 
application was written in visual basic, and no source code was 
distributed.  A skilled coder could probably use some of the required 
functions from iaxclient or libiax2 and create a similar function in C.


I think this could be a very important feature for failover, and would 
love to see a function created to do this.

Please let us know what you find or end up doing.
