wget is able to do this, using the "--spider" option:
`--spider'
When invoked with this option, Wget will behave as a Web "spider",
which means that it will not download the pages, just check that
they are there. You can use it to check your bookmarks, e.g. with:
wget --spider --force-html -i bookmarks.html
This feature needs much more work for Wget to get close to the
functionality of real WWW spiders.
(from the wget texinfo documentation).
You'll have to experiment a bit with other options (e.g. recursive) to
check the whole site, I suppose.
HTH,
