Nice to be back up.
Can anyone point me to the correct procedure for setting up erupter blades for failover to another pool. I have tried running mining proxy on a second pc on the network here with a different IP and -o -p bat to launch mining proxy to another stratum pool but when I redirect blades to it either totally or by switchpool it does not work so i am obviously missing something in the configuration.
Anyone done this successfully please?
Thanks in advance

For those that want to know I have now sorted this:

Run a second instance of mining.proxy.exe on the same PC as the first one with a bat file start up like: mining_proxy.exe -o stratum.mining.eligius.st -p 3334 -sp 3334 -gp 8331 or whatever your backup pool is. This allows the blades to use 8331 (or whatever port number you choose that is not currently in use on slush - normally 8332) and you then simply select your new port number as option 2 in Ports and put in login and password in option two for user:pass.  You keep the SAME IP address in for both pools.
Simples.
Now on failover the blades switch straight away to the alternative pool.

Hope that helps others.
