Servers are looking pretty stable again. This whole issue at least allowed the removal of the pool from the web server, which means a pool issue won't bring the website crashing down as it has in the past. The sync code between servers also received an update after taking down US West, NL1, and NL2, far less aggressive sync attempts (meaning one server having connection issues won't take down another server with it). The downside is it means that rounds may extend a few seconds past their actual solve time (up to a minute). The upside is that if one round is extended due to a sync issue, the following round will be that much shorter.
The new server hardware will hopefully be online around July 11. It's IMPOSSIBLE to effectively stress test this kind of machine to replicate the real world conditions, but the underlying software configuration has been tested with the help of the IRC chatroom. Failover when a sub-pool crashes takes about 4-6 seconds to kick in, meaning you can point your miners at one IP and it will automatically put them at an internal pool. There will still be an EU alternate set of servers, so if a connection issue occurs between you and the US pool, there are still fallbacks on different ISPs.

As of this second I'm connected just fine.

Moving the pool off the US West web server after putting it off for other issues. The miner reconnects are triggering some DDoS filters at the ISP. I've moved the DNS over to another server temporarily to get miners off of US West.
DE, DE2, Central, and East are fine right now. Shares still counting, work still being issued.

I still can't connect to west, east, central, de, or de2. Maybe I'm blacklisted by ISP???

Before you guys try freaky shit with your servers maybe you could send out a warning e-mail.
Profits are razor thin for me I don't know about others

I'm sorry, the next time we have unplanned server issues I'll make sure to warn everybody in advance.
I'm trying to get these servers to last the next 5-10 days, at which point I can put our new colo'd hardware online which has enough power to match our current US Servers, while being loadbalanced with internal failover. The hardware is mostly setup, and it'll be shipped out to a colo facility in Chicago on Tuesday.

You should have a backup pool setup for your miners.
BTC Guild has undergone tremendous growth lately and he is working hard to expand the server infrastructure. Plus, he has a job and the weekend probably is his best time to make those changes.
I believe what he is doing will make it better for all of us in the long run.
BTC Guild is still the best Pool IMO.

Code:
The connection has timed out
The server at www.btcguild.com is taking too long to respond.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
There it goes again.
I just got this:

de.btcguild.com is still up
but please: dont switch all there...
website is down for me too
EDIT: 5 secs later website is there, but miner can't connect.. grml
EDIT2: for me all is working fine now.. was just a few second hick up.
btcguild is still my favorite.
but please: offer support for miners at port 80!!!!
you could archieve that easily with:
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 8332 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8332
and do some pool-hopping prevention....e.g. just delay stats a little
