I have a client that has been feeding Live365 from a Linux encoder for several years. They have darkice feeding icecast running on the local machine, and they have Live365 in relay mode pulling a stream from the Icecast server. They rarely have a problem, and when they do, they can connect to the Icecast server directly to determine whether it's their problem or Live365's.
