Icecast - Aug 2017 - How many relays

Hello !
How many relays can I make with a single Icecast server ?, I can only
run 2 relays at most:

    <relay>
        <server>111.222.111.222</server>
        <port>8010</port>
        <mount>/example1.ogg</mount>
        <local-mount>/different1.ogg</local-mount>
        <on-demand>0</on-demand>

        <relay-shoutcast-metadata>0</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
    </relay>

    <relay>
        <server>222.111.222.111</server>
        <port>8020</port>
        <mount>/example2.ogg</mount>
        <local-mount>/different2.ogg</local-mount>
        <on-demand>0</on-demand>

        <relay-shoutcast-metadata>0</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
    </relay>

Thanks.

I have an external  aac+ source mounted on an Icecast2 server.
The source can deliver only one stream.
I want to relay the stream in a smaller format as we have severe 
bandwidth limitations at this site.
Is this possible in Icecast2?

Hi Robert,

Icecast itself doesn't do any resampling of audio streams it receives.
One would likely craft a solution that listens to the original stream
and re-encodes on the fly, providing those alternate bitrate streams
back to Icecast. I've heard people doing this with liquidsoap and other
source clients, and a bit of server-side magic.

Some quick Googling provided me with this link that will likely explain
more:
