The only way at the moment is to use my icecast tree, via

SVN at svn.xiph.org/icecast/branches/kh/icecast
src at http://mediacast1.com/~karl/icecast-2.0-kh48.tar.gz

and define <on-demand>1</on-demand> in each <relay> section.

With a few changes it could apply globally to all relays so that it
would apply to relays defined by the master server.
