I was a bit confused by that also at first, but the proxy can be pointed at any stratum pool. "mining_proxy.exe -h" will give a list of full options. I've got a stratum proxy pointing at ozcoin with no issues.

mining_proxy.exe -o us.ozco.in -p 3333 -gp 8332

Basically, -o is the stratum pool hostname, -p is the pool's stratum port, -gp is the port on which your proxy will listen for local getwork devices (blades and such). I mine at ozcoin, so that's in my command line, but wherever you have a pool account, just substitute their information.

So I have my ASIC Block Erupter Blade setup to mine on Slush's pool via the stratum proxy exe they provide. Now I'm trying to set it up for Eligius.st, but I have one problem. All the questions I keep seeing point to this .exe, but my problem is.....isn't that exe only setup to work for slush's pool? 

Is there a simple way to setup a proxy for any pool?


That seems to be the only downside to these blade miners, they dont do stratum by themselves.
