According to the contents of your .m3u, the server's URL is:
http://radiototal.evolva.ro:8128/live

You have to set up the <relay> section like this:

    <relay>
            <server>www.radiototal.ro</server>
            <port>8128</port>
            <mount>/live</mount>
            <local-mount>/total</local-mount>
            <relay-shoutcast-metadata>1</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
            <on-demand>0</on-demand>
    </relay>

The m3u is just a playlist. As far as I know, Icecast is not able to
parse a m3u file (that would be a good feature for newer versions), so
you have to specify the three informations: Server / Port / Mount in
order to relay a stream. In the case of an Icecast relaying a Shoutcast,
the mount section is /
