It could be done with dispatcher scripts, or with a different monitor service. NetworkManager 0.9.8+ do have a configurable "connectivity checking" feature that could be used for this too, if you have something using D-Bus to watch the "connectivity" property. This idea is something that could pretty easily be implemented as an example dispatcher script that spawns a small python program to monitor connectivity. Any takers?
