Ofcourse. Just use cgminer.exe -c pool1.cfg -c pool2.cfg

or use multiple -o, -u, -p statements. Works fine here. (.ie cgminer.exe -o http://url_pool1:port -u username_pool1 -p pass_pool1 -o http://url_pool2:port -u username_pool2 -p pass_pool2)

Nice, I'll give that a shot.  So, the second -o/u/p set is not used at all unless the first is down?  Will it automatically failback to the original?  Can you have a third or fourth set as well?

Just wondering Smiley
You can have as many as you like, and it will trickle work to the 2nd and 3rd when the 1st is relatively slow, or fail over completely to the 2nd when the 1st dies. Alternatively you can change the pool strategy to load balance where it shares work between all of them, etc... check the readme or top post in this forum. Also you can do all of this live while it's running just by pressing P and checking the options.
