We changed the Firefox setting (about:config) ‘network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server’ to 64 and the blocks went away. We changed it back to 6. We changed our design/development method to a more ‘asynchronous’ loading method so as not to have a large number simultaneous connections.

(This answer is a supplement to my other answer to this question.) Then again, there is a powershell script here, where the guy basically runs as a Cronjob which emails him the status every 4 hours.

It’s commercial software, but there is a … Read more
I’m not familiar with Pingdom, but I think Smokeping will do everything you want. If you specifically want to monitor an HTTP/HTTPS server and not just general connectivity (by way of ICMP), check out the EchoPingHttp and EchoPingHttps probes.
