Here is a new RTSP masq module that (hopefully) works better than the
current stuff.  I found several shortcomings that I wanted to fix, so I
rewrote the module...

- client_port is not replaced on the server's reply.  Not a problem for a
player, but it mucks up a proxy daemon behind the firewall.

- RTP port allocation is a bit shaky.

- Live encoding and splitting ports weren't in the default list and nobody
seems to have tested them.

- I've never written a masq module and wanted to give it a shot.  ;-)

There is one other piece of functionality that I would like to add --
supporting a RTSP server behind the firewall (via port forwarding).  Perhaps
I'll do this in the next release if there's any interest.

This code has been running on a couple of firewalls over the last 2 weeks or
so, and it seems to be stable.  I'd appreciate it if people could give it a
try and let me know how it works for them.  Especially interesting scenarios
would be:

- Running the module behind a masq box with one of the other masq modules.

- Running various encoders -- SLTA, RealProducer, QT encoder, etc.

... and probably others that I haven't thought of yet.

PS ... please note that this module does *not* support PNA.  If you need the
old RealAudio stuff (pre-G2), then you will need the ip_masq_raudio module
also.

Enjoy!
