Hi forum,
I have Wowza set up successfully re-streaming an Icecast server over RTMP.
My service has occasional peaks of high activity and I want to employ a second EC2 instance during these periods. Before I started with Wowza, I successfully employed haproxy to balance a master/slave pair of Icecast servers, streaming MP3 over HTTP.
Is there anything to stop me performing the same feat with RTMP? I am thinking of setting up haproxy to proxy raw TCP data on port 1935, with each new connection going to an alternate instance of Wowza. (Both Wowza instances will be re-streaming a single Icecast server).
Does anybody have any experience with this? Or is there a better solution?
If anybody foresees any problems with this then I’d really appreciate learning about them now
thanks
