Here's an ipcop script that checks the connection and resets it if it's
down. You could easily alter this to achieve your desired end:
#!/bin/sh
#Check the connection on an ipcop firewall and reset if it's down
ping -c1 `netstat -rn | grep ^0.0.0.0 | awk '{print $2}'`
if [ "$?" != "0" ] ; then
/etc/rc.d/netaddress.down
/etc/rc.d/netaddress.up
fi
