One way to do this sort of thing is to write a script that checks to see
if your selected hosts are alive. If just one is up, return 0 and a "the
Internet is up" message. If they're all unreachable, return 2 and a "the
Internet is down, time to panic" message. But don't make google.com and
friends monitored hosts in and of themselves.
