Hi.
I use search, i read docs about:
Mount Specific Settings
Also i fount this topic.

I own one icecast server 2.3.2, with my mount on it.
I have 2 friends that decide help me and they made on their servers relay from my server.

So, i try to find some simple load balance (i don't want ask them use master slave etc).

Is it possible to have this?:
When my icecast reached some limit for some mountpoint, start to redirect new users with http 302 for example to myfriends icecast servers and mountpoints.


P.S. looks like someone have same idea:
http://www.fladi.at/2010/01/01/load-balancing-icecast-relays/
But maybe it's possible to realize it only with icecast?

Have a look at http://giss.tv/wiki/index.php/Servers_Configuration as an example of what you want.

Well, it looks like this http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.3.2/icecast2_config_file.html#relay

It's not what i'am thinking about.

Idea that i described doen't require changes on other streamers.

Let's say, on main server1 we have mountpoint for user server1/mystream
On second icecast server2 relay mountpoint called /blablablastream
On third icecast it's called /mount1

I mean other servers may have already some logic in their mountpoints names.

So i suggest that for mount on server1 i can set how much users it can handle and other servers like server2/blablablastream and server3/mount1, so when limit reached, just redirect to this servers for example by random.

I suppose this method can be used when other relay servers is not under my own control or i just don't want give any log\pass from my streamer at all.

The only mechanism I know of currently to achieve this using icecast alone is to use auth url on the requested mount on the kh tree. If you can determine that a redirect is required and where from the called listener_add script then return a 200 but also return a Location header. icecast takes that case to indicate that a 302 is required to be sent to the listener.
