Alerting Physical and Sub-Interfaces

The majority of my sites are T1's with sub-interfaces.  I don't want to get 3 alerts every time the physical interface goes down.  I only want to be alerted on the physical interface.  I have created a custom field for all of my sub-interfaces.  

I have tried the alerting a couple different ways and cant seem to get it figured out.

When I have the alert like this I get emails on the sub-interfaces but not the physical interface.

When I have the alert like this I get inconsistent alerts.  For some sites the emails work just like I want.  For other sites I get no emails.
