Hi,
I don't think this is possible, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Is there any way to have two shoutcast plugins streaming to the same server? In other words, if two people wanted to do a webcast but could not physically be in the same place, would this be possible?

no. thisis not physically possible at all. technically speaking, the shoutcast client makes a connection and then holds it. The best the other client can do is keep trying to connect, and wait till the other one's disconnected.
