Relay user count

[DJCurry04]

Hey,

I was reading about relays and decided to setup some, i was able to get 4 of them up on a few friends machines, the problem im having though is when i check on the shoutcast site i dont see my full user count, im able to see cluster and it says 15/70 but it doesnt get past 16 even if mine is full and each relay has 2.

My server supports 15, and each relay supports 15 , 15 , 15 and 10.

So if each relay has 2 and mine is full i dont see the full count on the shoutcast site... any ideas as to why this is so?

Also i always get these msgs

<08/12/04@21:39:46> [yp_tch] new backup server 68.175.16.89:8000
<08/12/04@21:39:46> [yp_tch] yp.shoutcast.com touched!

It happens i would say about every 20 mins? something like that

Thanks in advanced for the help!

That's very interesting about the listener counts. Unfortunately, I can't think of a remedy at the moment.

*******

"yp touched" means your station information (station name, bitrate, maximum number listeners, current number listeners, currently playing song, ...) has been updated in the SHOUTcast yp directory.

the count on the shoutcast site subtracts from the relay count. so if have 4 relays
and you have 4 servers capable of 15 and one capable of 10 then the highest your count will ever get is 66.

Yea, i just realized that, haha, later that day i noticed that the count got higher so i did the math and it worked out.

Thanks :)

Setup another DNAS and have it relay the main DNAS.

From the DNASs sc_serv.ini/conf configuration file:; RelayPort and RelayServer specify that you want to be a relay server.
; Relay servers act as clients to another server, and rebroadcast.
; Set RelayPort to 0, RelayServer to empty, or just leave these commented
; out to disable relay mode.
; RelayPort=8000
; RelayServer=192.168.1.58

Set relayport of the secondary DNAS to the portbase of the main DNAS.
Set relayserver of the secondary DNAS to the ip of the main DNAS.

Also, don't forget to remove the comment designator ( ; ) from the front of both lines after making the changes then restart the DNAS.
