Short version: Does Sonic have a couple of stable IP addresses in their network I can reliably ping?
Long version: I'm using a pfSense box to manage my two fiber lines. To check each lines is "up" pfSense will ping a downstream address, usually the gateway. However, if both lines are given the same gateway (which can happen ) then pfSense gets confused and thinks both lines are down. I've found that if I ping addresses which are guaranteed to be different (so not the assigned gateway), pfSense can determine the lines are valid and let traffic flow (Note: This doesn't fix all the problems with two interfaces having the same gateway, but it means one line will work, rather than zero).
Until today I was just picking two internal address on the Sonic network somewhat at random (they were X.X.X.1 addresses, so probably routers), but today Sonic made one of these addresses disappear, bringing down half of my network. I could just ping 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 which will always be up, but it would be nice to ping something a little bit more local. Does Sonic have any stable IP addresses I could use?
