Now I'm using the ping options:
ping -n -w 10 -c 2 -I $lnk1_dev $lnk1_pingtarget
But so I'm getting some false negatives. Can you show what ping options you
use?

Please see the script posted earlier. The simple ping command with the
following options is repeated every 10 seconds using an endless loop.
ping -I $EXTIF1 -c 1 $TESTIP > /dev/null 2>&1
