This crude little script I wrote does just that.  It pings a series of
numbers in a subnet.  If the ping is successful, I then do an "arp -a"
for the IP, and collect the hardware address.  I then use the cut
command to get the info, and can either display it to the screen or pop
it to a SQL database that can be accessed with ODBC.
