You can use the bbcombotest to merge the result of all your http content/status check in a single check.
in bbcombotest.cfg you can put something like:

internet.connect = internet.cont1 && internet.cont2 && internet.cont3

remember to change the hobbitlaunch.cfg to include the launch of bbcombotest
Yes, you need to use bbcombotest.  I would not recommend this though:

internet.connect = internet.cont && internet2.cont && internet3.cont

Something like this is safer...

internet.connect = (internet1.cont + internet2.cont + internet3.cont) >= 2

I have used this method before to monitor major 4 web sites and seen one of them fail to respond.  The other 3 were fine so I knew our internet connection was okay.
