Just to explain the ports Smiley

They're all the same node - so that wont help for a failover.

The extra ports are for people who have difficulty connecting to port 3333 due to being blocked on their network.
e.g. 80 or 443 should be open on most networks since thats Web and Web SSL.
and I always throw in 81 and 8080 so there's a couple more choices to try.

Use a different node for pool2
Use your closest node for pool1 and then the next closest one for pool2

Is the main "stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333"  node US based?  I've been using the New York node "stratum+tcp://nya.kano.is:3333" but I'm closer to the West Coast.  
Yes the main stratum node is on the west side of the US.
If you are in the middle or on the west side of the US then it's normally best to use the main stratum node.
