Hawk is a web based utility for monitoring and comparing hosts
on your network with what's in DNS. Hosts that are answering
pings but are not in dns may be unauthorized, and hosts that are
in DNS, but are not answering may be able to be reclaimed. Hawk
monitors all hosts on the networks you specify and lets you view
them via a web page.
Hawk consists of a backend written in perl that monitors hosts by
icmp pings and writes the status to a mysql database. The frontend
is in php and lets you select which network to view, and how to view
it.

Say hello to the new "net-mgmt" category. There are probably more
ports that belong here than the ones I have identified and moved in
this, first, pass.
Approved in principle by: marcus
BROKEN: inconsistent dependencies on mysql 3.x and 4.x (inherited from a
dependency). This port will be removed on April 15 if still broken at
that time.
New port of a nifty utilty that uses perl to ping the networks you
specify, mysql to save the data, and php to display it. Fairly
configurable, and easy to set up.
