I have switched over to eligius.st for the time being. Spotty connectivity until I rammed my miners through Tor to make the connection, now it works fine.
Why would you use tor for mining?

Its all about TripleMining 
lots of people took hits today, even deepbit had portions of either web site down, 100% rejects, or both..

Some people have issues and others do not. Often times using a VPN connection to a a different provider resolves the problem. Unfortunately my only other connection point would be through work, and I'm not about to use business resources for mining.

It's not all that easy. Right now BTC Guild is down and Bitclockers is very unreliable. So I'd need a third miner on let's say deepbit. Now if I had 4 GPUs that would be twelve miners already. 
bb,
You could just run more than one miner simultaneously, each with its own pool. Second miner will take over all your CPU/GPU resources while the first one will be waiting for a dead pool.

^ this...
just open another miner with the same graphics card and set the -f flag higher than the first instance
If your using GUIMiner this is pretty simple, the default is -f30 (unless you changed it) so just start your fallback miner with -f60
Took the day off from mining.
BTW the USeast server if running. Never thought I'd see BTC Guild runing with 351 workers.

I definitely have to automate the pool switching somehow.
Here's a link to the main discussion about the DDoS - easy to lose it in the huge BTC Guild thread.

yeah, the website was down for me ealier, it's back up now with the message on the front page:
We are recovering from a large scale DDoS on all of our servers. Pool servers are offline for a few more hours.
Good thing is they let you cash out your coins.
I'm mining with Deepbit again now

If you guys can not connect to a pool, start solo mining quickly!
Do not let the Bitcoin Network without miners support!

Ran my miner just to btcguild and that was a mistake. Wasted resources - electricity, system wear and tear for 0 btc last night. aarrgghhh ... darn DDOS'n
It's normal for the web front end to say that sort of thing while the pool service boxes are down. It'll be nice once they get their boxes to the new facility. Sounds like they're even fighting with their colo right now.
At this very Moment, it's only the "My Account" Page that shows the DDoS Message.
Bad thing is, i want to pay out and i can't

The admin banned a botnet and the botnet wrangler is having his revenge.
Yeah man, They are having a mad time getting thier shizzle together out there. These people that are DOSS'n need to grow up and grow balls... Bunch of kids killing a good thing I'd supose.
