Use middlecoin.com:3333 as a failover.
"pools" : [

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.
Awesome thanks much! I added the failover to my batch and seems to recognize it so good on that end. Then downloaded and installed CGwatcher per your suggestion and the setup was a breeze. Here is to saving me labor and getting some housework done instead of running up and downstairs all day making sure everything is running smoothly. (fingers still crossed, but this looks like it will do the trick). Maybe my wife will get to see more of me now.
