Hi Guys!
Im a bit of a newbie to Icecast so bear with me whilst i get used to how some parts of it work!
Right, im currently in the process of setting up a student radio station within my college but we will be using the college ICT network to stream it. Our college has 8 different geo-graphical sites and Tech Support dont want to have 1 server for streaming due to the stress it would put on the network etc. So my idea would be to have 1 icecast server in the studio, then 2 relay servers located in other locations. When the stream page is set up it will ask the user what campus they are in, then whatever location they select it will connect to their local server.
One thing i want to ask is should the master icecast server loose the studio stream, how can i make the relay servers run an emergency .mp3 file on them until the stream comes back online?
Also, how can i implant an effective stats system on the server so it will collect results over a time period of 1 year say??
Cheers guys |

you could use a playlist request which is actually a php script that builds the streaming url based on the IP, ie pick the nearest streaming point or maybe just a simple 302 redirect which most players handle. It's just a matter of having a simple lookup of IP pattern to streaming location.

I employ a "hop detector" which will feed the meta (titles) from the input streams to the main mounts..
the code is part of an eggdrop that runs on my IRC chatroom
will also "flip switch" the feeds if the "studio" mount drops..
