"Configure alerts so that none are sent if Internet goes down"

Hello,
We monitor multiple remote sites with Zenoss Core. When the Internet at our monitoring site goes down and then comes back up, we receive a ton of alerts. Obviously this is because it could not reach the remote networks and therefore generates alerts that queue and are then sent when connectivity is restored. Is there a way to make it so that if Zenoss detects that it does not have an Internet connection it will suspend alerts? Similar to the way that if a server is down it doesn't send you an alert that all of the services are down, just the server. This would also be helpful to apply to remote sites. For instance, if Zenoss detected that the gateway for a remote site was unreachable, it would alert you about that, but not about all of the servers that are behind it.
Any help is greately appreciated.
