[Icecast-dev] Modified slave behavior?

[Dave Pascoe]

With multiple relay slaves and a growing list of streams, I am looking
for ways to conserve bandwidth.  The current behavior has each relay
slave "pulling" each stream from the master server.  Is anyone working
on offering a modification to this behavior where the relay slaves will
only pull the stream from the master as needed?  So the slave would
always be aware of the streams' availability, but would only pull the
stream if it needs to.

Just curious.

Thanks,
Dave
