Not sure what you will gain by using fork if all server names are in one file. If you have multiple files then your pings can run in parallel.
May be it is time to do some actual testing

NAME
Smokeping::probes::base - Base Class for implementing SmokePing Probes
OVERVIEW
For the time being, please use the Smokeping::probes::FPing for inspiration when implementing your own probes.
SYNOPSIS
*** Probes ***
+base
offset = 50%
pings = 20
step = 300
# [...]
*** Targets ***
probe = base # if this should be the default probe
# [...]
+ mytarget
# probe = base # if the default probe is something else
host = my.host
VARIABLES
Supported probe-specific variables:
offset
If you run many probes concurrently you may want to prevent them from hitting your network all at the same time. Using the probe-
specific offset parameter you can change the point in time when each probe will be run. Offset is specified in % of total interval, or
alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the 'General' section is used if nothing is specified here. Note that this does NOT
influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data acqusition is initiated. (This variable is only applicable if the variable
'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.)
Example value: 50%
pings
How many pings should be sent to each target, if different from the global value specified in the Database section. Note that the
number of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally generated, and if you change this parameter afterwards, you'll have
to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them.
Example value: 20
step
Duration of the base interval that this probe should use, if different from the one specified in the 'Database' section. Note that the
step in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally generated, and if you change the step parameter afterwards, you'll have to
delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them. (This variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the
'General' section.)
Example value: 300
