Icecast - Mar 2005 - Linking Mount Problem

Ok thanks alot for the help with making me understand a little about mount issue
but now there is
another issue... if the current encoder has mount point "/first" so
offcourse the link to listen
would be http://ip:port/first
but when it falls back to backup server with mount point "/backup" now
how would users
automatically switch to this mount point.. being precise what link should i give
on the website for
the users to click on to listen... i hope i didnt mess things up while trying to
explain my problem
:)

Hi,

If your primary stream isn't up, anyone connecting to your primary mount 
will automatically be rerouted to your backup mountpoint and will be pulled 
forward if someone connects to your primary mount *and* if 
fallback-override is set to 1.  So just link to your / mount and it should 
work OK.

Geoff.
