Icecast Streaming Media Server

[CaptainRescue]

Hi,
I searched teh web but i cant find a answer for my questions.
i downloaded Icecast 2.3.2 and installed it to CentOs5
No i like to offer icecast hosting voor multiple streams so 1 source per stream.
Is it posible to run multiple processes with different config files:
example:
icecast -c \usr\local\bin\icecast\conf\stream1 -b
icecast -c \usr\local\bin\icecast\conf\stream2 -b
icecast -c \usr\local\bin\icecast\conf\stream3 -b
......... etc

How many icecast servers can i run this way? or is there a better way to do this?

you can run many icecasts if you wish, obviously icecast does allow for multiple streams on a single icecast. Using multiple process would mean multiple ports being is use but you should be able to have quite a few of them.

I'm wondering as well what is the best method for doing this.

My goal is probably the same as the OP...
I want to run many "different" streams on one machine.
Each stream on it's own port, and each one with a different source.

(Basically like a web host that has many sites per machine, and each site is individual and doesn't have anything to do with the other)

How would I do this normally?
Run many instances of the server, each with a diff config. Or is there a way to just start one server, and it just runs different instances itself.
