You'll want to add a host/service check that correctly determines if
your internet access is up or down, then make that host the parent for
your other hosts. To suppress notifications for hosts behind the parent
when it's down, disable unreachable notifications for those hosts. See
the documentation on Determining the Status and Reachability of Network
Hosts.
