Web server down for a moment.  Mining is fine.  No shares lost, as per usual.

Stats will be caught up shortly and I'll put the webserver back online.
Actually, some mining connections are having a problem...
(and similar posts)

The issue seems to revolve around cgminer's proprietary implementation of how to handle a DNS response with multiple A records.  Current Eligius uses several IPs in a DNS round robin, but cgminer only tries one of them.  If one of the IPs has any issue (it happens) the expected behavior is to try another, which cgminer doesn't do.

At the time in question, one of the four IPs used for mining was not responding.

However, conman believes he has addressed this with cgminer 3.7.0.  Anyone using cgminer should probably upgrade.


Thanks again for mining Eligius! Smiley

Its no cgminer issue but chainminer bundled in Bitfury rig.
Contrary to what you write cgminer in Avalon work without  problem Smiley I  reported a problem with the Bitfury (chainminer), no cgminer.
Restart stratum proxy in Bitfury rig did not help. Some times reboot RPi solve problem.
