That seems reasonable. > However, first I'd like to see consensus on what data we should collect, if any :) ACK. :) Just connecting to anchors via HTTP gives you a few things: information about the routable address of the probe (which I presume is one of the things the anchor reply is used for at the moment), connectivity along a path (but only to an anchor) where ICMP is (for some silly reason mumble mumble) impaired. And looking at time-to-first-byte and time-to-last-byte changes over time gives you some interesting information about the global state of network. Jared's suggestion would make the whole thing much more operationally useful (...says the non-operator...) but at the expense of somewhat more infrastructure. The someone-along-the-path-is-messing-with-HTTP alert I suggested is only of operational interest in a few contexts; I mention it because my Big Thing right now is trying to quantify all kinds of end-to-end impairment.
