I would not recommend doing any multicast over the bare Internet -- its frought with problems. The proper way to solve this is to use icecast as a tunneling mechanism. If you have an Obs box at location A, and you want to listen to the same stream at location B, but A and B are seperated by the Internet, then set up icecast as a tunnel. You'll need an icecast server at both points -- just have the icecast server at point B propagate a stream from icecast server A. However, this isn't quite what you want. Icecast does not do multicast, so location B cannot use multicast. Also, location B will not be able to listen to the same stream as location A -- you will need to set up different channels. That is, unless enough people bug me to fix obs so that you can listen to a stream via multicast and icecast at the same time. -- --ruaok Freezerburn!
