Question with those issues is always WHAT you are up to put on redundancy
-- LS Instances? Icecast Servers? In our experience,
Encoding/Radioautomation cause much more CPU time hence are more likely to
hang than the Icecast Server. I figure you are aggreating many
webradiostations. Are they pushing to your icecast servers or are you
relaying them thru LS http input? If the latter, I think best way to
secure high availability would be relaying from two LS instances and
pushing to one icecast server each (and then working with DNS fallback
scenario or whatever).
