[Icecast] fallback mount points?

hello all.
I run a station which uses one primary mount to broadcast from. when DJs are not
on air, we want to stream a playlist of music. I have a program taking care of
that for us, but now I?m at a standstill.
When our automation connects to our primary mount point no DJ can connect to
broadcast. So, I?m assuming I need to work something out with a fallback mount
point but don?t quite get how it works. For example, we broadcast on /live. When
we?re done, we need the automation to kick in either by redirecting people to
its mount or also playing on live. Also, we are using the default source
username, will we have to create a different source for this to work?
Sorry for the long post. just completely baffled.
