I would change the .INI file structure to make the servenames either sections or keys. This will allow you to use just one line of KiXtart code to enumerate all servers to be checked. Use e.g. the server OS as value or a timestamp for the last successful check in case you'd want to keep track of when the server became unavailable.
code:
[SERVER1]
LastCheck=2003/10/10 10:10:10am
LastDown=2003/10/10 10:10:10am
