I read somewhere that there is a GPU miner that can switch from one pool to another if it detects that one is down or unresponsive. Can anyone point me to a tutorial on how to set this up?

You can run 2 instances of a miner (like Phoenix) on 1 card. The first instance is setup to one pool, the other to another pool. Mhash/s will be split 50/50 and if one pool fails, the other instance will go 100%.

Oh, cute proxy...
I thought about using PHP but went with C++ instead. And C++ let's me do more evil(tm) with less effort.

But what happens if the proxy is down? You host it yourself, if it goes down you're in trouble anyway

Or you can just set up your backup pool as another miner that runs at a lower priority than your primary (the OpenCL miner in guiminer has a -f option that allows you to set a priority, 30 is the default, bigger number is lower priority). If/when the primary miner/pool goes down, the secondary miner/pool steps up because the GPU is underutilised.
I use it to switch between btcguild as my primary and slush as my backup and it works just fine.
