Use middlecoin.com:3333 as a failover.

"pools" : [
        {
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://useast.middlecoin.com:3333",
                "user" : "xxx",
                "pass" : "xxx"
        },
        {
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333",
                "user" : "xxx",
                "pass" : "xxx"
        }
]
.....
"failover-only" : true,

If your cgminer completely freezes and is unable to fail over I would suggest looking into CGWatcher (if you are on Windows). I had it installed and set it up to restart cgminer after 30 minutes of no submitted shares.

Good luck.

Thank you for the response!  Is that what I type into my bat file?  I guess I just have not seen commands like that when looking into setting up my bat file.  In that case would it be wise to add a 3rd server there like west?  Thanks again for your help - eventually will have quite a few rigs running with a friend and want to make sure they will require as little maintenance as possible to save labor time. 

Here is the command-line syntax, just add it at the end of the command :

--failover-only -o stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333 -u YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS -p YOUR_PASSWORD

replace YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS and YOUR_PASSWORD with your values and you are good to go.
