Multiple Servers in the Winamp Playlist Screen when connecting through public listing

I did lots of searching and I only found this thread:

I understand how to make playlists, but I am trying to get the playlist of different servers showed when a person connects to my server through the listing on www.shoutcast.com

Like if you select Digitally Imported radio from the public listing, there's 5 different servers in the playlist. How do you do that?

Have multiple servers setup to relay one of them (only one gets the source from the DSP) -- this will create a cluster, and the directory will reflect this after a while. They are all the same stream, all playing the same source. The DNASes will act differetnly once they "become aware" as a cluster, automatically redirecting requests to a full server to the "next" in line.

Producing the multi-address playlist you describe, may have to be done by you (create your own .pls) -- I don't think the big guys like DI use the same DNAS "package" you and I use.

Would it be possible to run a server that does nothing but forward people to another server?
Like me run a server that when someone connects they get forwarded to Digitally Imported and the next server in the playlist be Bass Drive?

To do that, just write a static .pls, .m3u, or .ram containing the list of stream addresses:

http://stream1_ip1:port1/
http://stream2_ip2:port2/
http://stream3_ip3:port3/

Serve this file from an HTTPd (webserver) configured for the correct MIME type -- audio/megurl for .pls and.m3u and audio/x-pn-realaudio for a .ram

Their browser will open the file and launch the appropriate application. You could also personally launch the file locally from your hard disk.

The point is, you don't need a SHOUTcast server to do that. The SHOUTcast DNAS and directory will only present a single stream (and its cluster of servers), not different streams. Trying to do so may also get you banned, because it would require you to "hack" the way the directory works.
