[icecast] Runaway icecast again (more YP issues)

[oddsock]

I am currently working on clustering, and doing it so that no changes need 
to be made to the icecast2->yp interface.  Currenlty, I am planning to 
cluster based off server name and listing IP.  So this means that if your 
icecast2 server is hosting 5 mountpoints, they will all get clustered 
together.  LAter this logic will be extended to deal with relays as well 
(relays that exist on different IPs), but for the time being I'm trying to 
keep it simple.

and I don't like the concept of whacking entries if a server duplicate is 
detected....waiting 5 minutes for the listing to clear is fine in this 
case...Also, keep in mind that the yp protocol is simple enough for you to 
do whatever you'd like to do (Arc is writing his own YP for instance) and 
my implementation is simply an example implementation.
