You can easily script failover yourself.
Put your "minerd" in a loop (with different configs) and play around with "--retries" and "--retry-pause" options.

Here is a sample script for *nix I posted some time ago:

This is just a very simple example that makes the miner fail over to a different pool if the current one fails a given number of times.
Using commands such as timeout you can implement all the strategies you want. The possibilities are endless.

The same result can be achieved under Windows with a batch file containing an infinite goto loop.
I'll let someone else post a sample batch file, since I have no access to a Windows box at the moment.

ya I am still very new to Linux.  Mining on windows boxes for now, but I am learning Linux as I go Thanks for the info guys.

Here is an example batch file for Windows:

It was written by a miner I met on IRC. Since he doesn't have an account on this forum, I'm posting it for him.

I wonder if something like that would work for reaper (changing up the syntax for it's desired arguments of course)
