You have to consider for what reason a server goes down. If it has a serious problem, it will most probably not be able to send you an email in time. This would be very unreliable.
Maybe think about like a ping/nmap probing script, that runs on your Linux box scanning the remote hosts in some interval.
There is other versions of ping out there, that can already work on a whole input list/file of hostnames instead of running in a while loop every host against a ping.
