I would like to create a virtual IP that front-ends a pool of streaming servers and use this virtual IP or DNS as the hosts on my encoder. I would also like the encoder to automatically know which server has the least amount of active transcoding sessions and send the encoded stream out to that server.
Is this possible?
I would also like to write a server-side module that simply counts the number of active transcoding sessions on the server and returns it as an integer using an HTTP Provider module. I know this is possible but don’t know where to start. Could you help me get started with this?
Thanks.
