Hello,

I am looking for a solution to Stream live video like that :

A camera/webcam/video output ---> Stream server ---> Clients

And if possible multiple Stream Servers like this (like IceCast):

A camera/webcam/video output --> Master Stream server +---> Slave Stream Server ---> Clients
                                                      |                         `--> Clients
                                                      |
                                                       `--> Slave Stream Server ---> Clients
                                                                                `--> Clients

The clients will be in flash, so I think RTMP should be a good protocol, I've heard of Red5, is it good for that ? Does it scale ? I would like to get statistics (Amount of clients, Bandwidth, etc), is it possible with red5 ?

Do you know any other good solution to do that ? (Only free and if possible Open Source)

Thank you !
