For the purposed of pinging the alternate servers, you will want to use the homePageUpdate callbacks.

There isn't a mechanism to supply alternate services by just defining a set of URLs, so you will need to write a short callback to add this functionality.

Instead of the homePageUpdate call to weblogs.com:

thread.callscript (@weblogUpdates.ping, {siteName, url})

You'll modify it to to use the custom data fields for the two other services. Copy the default table at weblogUpdates.data and adjust the values to ping the alternate servers.

Using the value of the adrSite in the callback, you'll need to grab the site name before calling the weblogUpdates.ping.

eg. siteName = adrSite^.["#newsSite"].siteName
