Equivalent of 301 redirect for streams?

[Mike Russell]

Is it possible to do the equivalent of a 301 redirect for an internet radio stream.

e.g. mydomain.com/stream -> points to -> [streamurl]:[streamport]

The reason I'd like to do this is so that all the stream links I submit to internet radio directories belong to me and not the internet radio host.

Is this possible? Any technical issues with doing this?

It will probably be ok for most directories although if you tried to do it to our directory when hosting elsewhere it wouldn't work.

A better idea might be to create an "CNAME record" in your dns that points to the radio host providers server. i.e. radio.yourdomain.com IN CNAME uk1.internet-radio.com. The only consideration then is to ensure you get a server on the same port when you switch providers. We can of course allow you to change your port if you email us.

Hope this helps. :nerd:
