Clip content caching only works if RTSP authentication is enabled on the whole
OpenCDN (the password is setup on the RRDM). 
Shame upon me: I forgot to indicate it in the README.helix doc. I'll fix it
ASAP.
Unfortunately Content Caching configuration on Helix requires to specify a
username and a non-empty password. I've not been able to find a workaround.
But this is not the cause of the wrong format of the URL (0.0.0.0).

I committed right now a new version that fixes some bugs and adds support for
Windows Media live streams to Helix.pm.
I agree with Alessandro that the "0.0.0.0" problem stems from an unmatched
regular expression (in sub mkmount). (I also agree that the comments I wrote in
Helix.pm suck!).
I've tried to reproduce the problem but with no luck, maybe because I'm running
OpenCDN on Solaris.
Pantelis, if you send me the document with the details of your configuration,
I'll try to understand what's going on.
BTW, I think that upgrading to the CVS version, if possible, would help.

Bye,
Massimo
