Icecast - Jul 2005 - relaying IceCast from ShoutCast

I Found some old posts with some syntax for this, but it does not appear to
work.  Should this work in the Windows version?

Here's the line from the Path section of my config file:
<alias bind-address="38.116.36.8" port="8010"
source="/" dest="/Jazz"/>

Great, thanks for the info... However... Like you said, I can't find much on
it...
Here's the section from the icecast_full.xml file...
        <!-- Aliases: treat requests for 'source' path as being for
'dest'
path
             May be made specific to a port or bound address using the
"port"
             and "bind-address" attributes.
          -->
        <!--
        <alias source="/foo" dest="/bar"/>
          -->
        <!-- Aliases: can also be used for simple redirections as well,
             this example will redirect all requests for http://server:port/
to
             the status page
          -->
        <alias source="/" dest="/status.xsl"/>

Anyone have any more information on how to bind an alias to a specific port?
Thanks,

Fred

That would be nice, wouldn't it? Hey, it's already implemented!
That's why
we have port-specific aliases. They're not really well documented, patches
to explain this a bit better would be appreciated. I'm also not sure how
well tested this is, I know I've never tried to use shoutcast, because...
well, I'd much rather use icecast :-)

Anyway, I think this should be possible just by configuring icecast, no new
features needed.

It's extremely unlikely that you want to use the bind-address
attribute. If you do, you'll know precisely why. If you don't know
exactly what it does, then you don't need it - it's only for certain
configurations on complex systems with multiple network interfaces.

With the port attribute set, this _should_ work in all versions.

Mike,
I had tried it without the bind-address first and no luck.  I took it back
out and still no luck.
I can listen to the stream by using http://38.116.36.8:8000/Jazz, but can
not get to the alias with http://38.116.36.8:8010
