notification suppression

That's basically what I've done.  A set of (notification diabled) services
that ping various major websites (by hostname, not by IP) and a host check
that pings microsoft (well, it has to ping *someone*).  Only the host check
will send a notification, and only if all the services fail.  Seems to work
(we had an internet outage last week :( )
