[icecast] How to handle NAT ?

[oddsock]

again, your answer lies in the <hostname> setting... This value of the 
config is used for only 2 things...for m3u creation and for YP listen link 
building.  In general this value should be your externally accessable name 
or IP address.  However, to answer your next question of "how do I use the 
automatic m3u facility from both behind the router and outside the router", 
you cannot.  However, since icecast does support simple file serving, you 
can create your own m3u file in the webroot and access it just as you would 
static content.  So you could manually create a mystream_inside.m3u and put 
your internal address in that, and a mystream_outside.m3u and put your 
external address in that... Of course, if your internal address changes, or 
your mountpoint changes, you'd have to update the files...anyway, not 
pretty but may meet your needs.
