No - and it would not do what you want anyway.  The RTSP "REDIRECT" 
command (which we don't currently implement anyway) is used for a 
server to tell a *client* that it should reconnect to a different 
server.

The way to implement a proxy is to make it both a RTSP server 
(accepting commands from the original client) and a RTSP client 
(connecting to the back-end server, transparently to the original 
client) - without any change in the way that the RTSP protocol is 
used.
