Hi all, great thread, thank you dogie for these guides.
Everything is working great, I am wondering if it is possible to add a failover pool or even load balance to slush's proxy.
Any ideas how these might need to be formatted?

Maybe there is a thread for slush's proxy, I will have a look for that too.

Can't balance load with these. You can run a backup pool, gets a bit more complicated so I don't include it in the OP.

Duplicate the proxy and put it in another folder called Proxy2.
Create another .bat file with a different pool and with -gp 8333 and -sp 3334. This changes the ports the second proxy lives on so they can be on the same IP (that of your computer) and not conflict.

So you will have:
1st proxy

Code:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Proxy
mining_proxy.exe -o eu-stratum.btcguild.com -p 3333

2nd proxy

Code:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Proxy2
mining_proxy.exe -o stratum.btcguild.com -p 3333 -gp 8333 -sp 3334

On the cube config page, edit the second repeated port to 8333. If it detects the 1st proxy/pool is down, it will attempt the second proxy/pool. $$$Profit$$$
