Hi there, For load balancing and redundancy, I have several icecast servers in place. I have setup a DNS entry called icecast.domain.com which randomly points to different servers in the cluster and use relaying on-demand to make sure that each server has the ability to serve the stream.
I have liquidsoap connecting to icecast.domain.com which gets a random IP address each time. However when I issue a metadata update it seems to do a new DNS resolution and as such it often connects to a relay server rather than the one it initially connected to, which has the original mountpoint. Would it be possible for liquidsoap to remember the IP address that it connected to and then use that for sending metadata updates rather than doing a new resolution? I would like liquidsoap to continue doing fresh lookups when it has to reconnect to a stream, but to cache the IP value of the hostname for metadata updates to ensure that updates are being sent to the server with the original mountpoint rather than a relay server. I hope that makes sense.
