Hi Mike,
I'd like to do something similar for our Y swim team, namely providing 
online live video of our pool during meets. I already have an IP webcam, 
but I am unsure how to stream. It sounds like you are streaming directly 
from your camera - does that still work when multiple people connect? I 
thought that would cause a massive data overload on camera and/or 
network. It appears that online streaming services (camstreams, ustream, 
livestream) typically throttle the traffic by allowing only 50 
concurrent connections. But if you say that streaming directly works 
just as well, then I'll try that too.
Thanks,
Philipp
