Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I couldn't find the definitive answer for this, however I think this is how it works. Assuming I need to fit my listeners across multiple servers because of bandwidth limitations, would the master-relay scenario work.

Assume this configuration.

Master Icecast Server on Machine A (limit of 100 listeners).
Relay Icecast Server on Machine B (limit of 300 listeners).

The playlist file points to the mountpoint on Machine A, however is the mountpoint is full (100/100) will it redirect to the mountpoint on Machine B? (There is a reason why the first mountpoint has only 100, namely better quality and more reliable bandwidth!).

Thanks
