Perhaps have a look at whereami. That is a set of scripts that fire when you connect to a network. It can identify which network you're on (for example, you got a DHCP response and it was in the range x.x.x.x to x.x.x.y). I'm fairly certain there are tests for "can I reach server Foo?", and it wouldn't be too hard to add "can I etherwake server Foo?".
