Hy, I've some questions about the topology of networks between icecast server and relays... At first i asked myself if is it possible, when a client attempts to connect to the master server, that this server redirects client to another icecast server (relay) and that the client is automatically connecting to the relay.... I've also seen that this function has two responses: -first is that this process depends on the telecoms -second is that this process can be implemented by the application... So, i would like to know how is it for icecast? and where can i find some documentation about it??? thanks for all ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français !

But maybe you could try out opening a small php-page as your actual "streaming-url" and then send a header("Location: new-url") and direct e.g. WinAmp to the streaming-server you want it to stream from? But I'm not sure if this works with all players. Anybody tried it already?

Hi: This would be a bit tricky to implement on the server itself, since if it directed everything to the relay URL, the relaying server wouldn't be able to connect. You'd have to do something with useragent headers. Sounds messy. It would seem to me that it would be easiest to keep people away from the master server by not sending them there to begin with. I don't know of your exact setup, but you'd either post links to the relay server, or to a script which will determine which of a set of relays to send the person to and rediredt as appropriate.
