I'm running my stratum proxy on a machine that occasionally (like once every few weeks) locks up and restarts.

I am using bitminter to mine right now and would like to use their GETWORK option as a backup... would this be possible? Their address is: http://mint.bitminter.com:8332 (GBT or getwork)

I tried this to only test out the connection-

Code:

IP 192.168.1.254
Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1
WEB Port 8000
Primary DNS 192.168.1.1
Secondary DNS 8.8.8.8
Pool ports 8332,8332
Pool addresses: mint.bitminter.com,mint.bitminter.com

EDIT:
Nevermind... it worked. Just took a few minutes to start up.

I'm going to set my pools like this:
StratumProxy,Direct... so that if my proxy fails, it will go directly to their getwork server.

Very clever failover strategy, thanks!
