Dear All,

I am in the process of developing a web application which run on the internet (Running on a Third Party Professionally Hosted Web Server; called SVR1). However, after some basic operations like logging in and displaying home screen after login, the application will redirect to an another website (this one is run on the companies intranet at each of the offices and is connected to internet through firewall, called SVR2). 

Now the SVR1 before redirecting to SVR2 whethers its servers and services including databases are up and running, and only after a succesful confirmation, SVR1 will redirect to SVR2.

Request expreianced users advice on this fornt.

Thanks in advance for the advise.

Write the whopping 5 lines of code to ping the SQL Server to see if it's responding.
