I have been able to set up 5 of my miners back to Kano - will be watching to see if they stay pointed here or redirect again.
The failover in the early cgminer code never worked properly coz it was never tested properly (or at all?) by the coder.
They can switch to pool3 and never switch back under various circumstances.
Most of the bmminer code is of course early cgminer code.
since reconnecting today, they have disconnected from the pool twice - for about 8-9 mins and then reconnected.
There have been no disconnects on the nodes since the datacentre power problem was fixed about 14 hours ago.
The problem will probably be at your end - you'll have to check what's up with your internet connection or ISP.
One thing you can try is using port 80 instead of port 3333 in your connection.
Most ISPs wont mess with port 80 since it's used for web browsing.
Also try port 443 since that's the SSL web browsing port that most all web sites use now
(most web browsers are starting to treat port 80 connections as inferior to 443 no matter what the web site is)
And of course you can try port 81 or port 8080 in your connection.
