Why does the SHOUTcast Radio directory think Im at a different IP than I really am?
• Answer: The SHOUTcast Radio directory used to run on the honor system. That was, it took you at your word on what IP you were broadcasting at. Since about twenty billion people abused that to send people to porn sites, now the directory forces the listed IP to the same IP that sends it the info. Since many ISPs now use content caching on port 80 (the same port that directory data comes from), a different IP address can sometimes appear in the directory. There isn’t any solution for this at the moment, save having your ISP disable forced proxying of your address.
