I have a huge number of workers at one location
Stratum Proxy, my friend.
I don't know much about this -- is there a popular link to learn more about setting one up / pointing it at ZPOOL with a front-end switcher (I am using Nemosminer) or just Google is my friend ?
Thanks =)

He doesn't need to have every single one of his miners polling the API constantly. Do it from one place and re-direct the miners appropriately, either via a command & control program, or a smart proxy.
The correct solution is for the pool to cache the information with a reverse proxy, and deal with the load. It's on the service provider to provide service (especially one that is not free), not up to consumer to the work around archaic technical challenges.
He doesn't need to have every single one of his miners polling the API constantly. If you have separate 6 miner/mangers running that poll it once a minute, you're going to get errors. Once a minute is not "constantly."
I stand by my statement: That's bad practice on the pool side.
