I don't know of anything that does this now.  It's certainly a reasonable
idea -- use the ubik debug interface to query each listed server to find
out who the real servers are.  I've been intending to write something like
this to perform periodic verification of entries in the GCO CellServDB; if
you find an existing tool, I'd like to hear of it.
