 yes, i am running a relay of many streams of variable quantity, so i 
 cannot always rely on a source slot being available for my own uses - so 
 i want another instance on another port for my own use.
 i dont want to simply raise the max sources as it will just fill up and 
 i only want to offer a relay of the amount of streams limited by my 
 config.

 ok fair enough... consider my wrists slapped ... like i say momentary 
 perms for test.
