Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Punkley]

Hi folks,

I've got stumped on something, I have a master -> slave setup

the slave servers query the master server on port 8000 which is blocked to the rest of the world.

I want to be able to have other clients connect to the master server using shoutcast dsp streams on other ports eg 8002 . the problem is I open a listen port and then everyone has access to the other relayed mount points.

Is there a way to make it so people connecting to listen ports other then 8000 only have access to their relevant shoutcast mount (for uploading) and nothing else?

To enforce a limit such that you have one 1 mount accessible per port on one icecast. You would need to have either a large alias list to alias off the connections to mountpoints on ports you don't want to allow, or add url auth (listener_add) to those mounts to only allow listeners from certain ports ( ie 8000 or the port you have allocated to the requested mountpoint).

The notion of virtual hosting (like for web servers) doesn't yet exist in icecast (not within the same running instance). In theory it could be done but it's not a high priority.
