If traceroute isn't working, ping likely won't be either - blocking ICMP at the edge is common enough. Trying a ping utility that uses UDP (hping) is worth trying too. If you're already dealing with security at the edge that's limiting the aforementioned protocols, it isn't likely that ssh is going to be allowed directly either. Telnet is an option if the host serves up protocols you are aware of - just telnet to the actual socket 'telnet <ip> <port>'. If all else fails, try an nmap (disable the ping) and see what ports are open.
Cheers,
Keith

SUPPORTED PARAMETERS
OCF_RESKEY_pidfile = string [/var/run//ping-default]
PID file
OCF_RESKEY_dampen = integer [5s]
Dampening interval
The time to wait (dampening) further changes occur

Attribute name
The name of the attributes to set. This is the name to be used in the constraints.
OCF_RESKEY_multiplier = integer []
Value multiplier
The number by which to multiply the number of connected ping nodes by
OCF_RESKEY_host_list = string []
Host list
The list of ping nodes to count. Defaults to all configured ping nodes. Rarely needs to be specified.

no. of ping attempts
Number of ping attempts, per host, before declaring it dead
OCF_RESKEY_timeout = integer [2]
ping timeout in seconds
How long, in seconds, to wait before declaring a ping lost
OCF_RESKEY_options = string []
