Comment (by dshanske):

 You are right, handling this is difficult.

 My suggestion is to start by splitting the code that sends a single ping
 based on a URL into a new function with a return. This will get a single
 true/false to build an array. We can also add split the function  to find
 the content in a content block.

 That would allow the existing function to call them but future changes in
 do_all_pings to call each piece independently.

 In the meantime, pingback can return true if all successful, which should
 shutdown Trackbacks for the post_id.
