ices2 will encode/reencode/relay to more than one server.

etting up different icecast server is easy, the question is are you
wanting a relay situation, where a slave icecast takes one of more
streams from a master icecast or are you wanting ices2 (or similar) to
send the stream to many icecast servers.
