Ping each using any working connection then flag the return status.

When I had multiple connections at home, I pinged each from work and
sent small flag files (using a working IP) indicating DOWN or UP,
monitoring those flag files.  It never happened that all were down at
the same time, but even if they were it wouldn't have mattered...

At work, our ISP pings our public IP every 30 seconds.  A "sleep 30"
script could detect that the pings cease.

Some ping programs let you specify which interface.  If yours doesn't,
download the source and compile it with that option.

You might be able to send an ARP or arping asking for the next hop.

iptraf can log.
