Does anyone know of a utillity I can run on a server to periodically ping several hosts and record the result? Does not need to be anything fancy at all.

I think smokeping does that. I must get around to configure it. I've already installed it...

It's overkill, but once you get started monitoring it's nice to not run into something it won't do: http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Main_Page

Various monitoring apps (cacti, nagios, etc)... or MRTG. All of which store their data in RRDTool.
Which reminds me, I need to setup Nagios 3 this month.

MRTG does it nicely if you provide an adequate ping script. It *is* somewhat fancy indeed, but I think it is the simplest among the fancy. Install by simply yumming it in. Less fancy, but also simple: moSSHe (http://www.wyae.de). Both of them will let you record not only ping results, but any imaginable statistics as well.
