That would be:

for i in `cat ip.txt`
do ping -c 3 $i || { echo "IP $i is not in use."; break; }
done

Of course, if a machine happens to be down/off, if will look
like its IP is not in use...

You could possibly do something clever with nmap or "ping -b",
but your approach is simple and effective.

must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one on the
far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a silver-handled
knife whilst burning *black* candles. - Anthony DeBoer
