Do ‘we’ not have our own domain name? :-)

I presume (although you haven’t stated explicitly) that you want a server that will deliver the stream via multicast to multicast-reachable clients (i.e., those on the same LAN), and via unicast to other clients.

To do this, you would create a RTSP server, and add two "ServerMediaSession”s to it: One for multicast delivery; the other for multi-unicast delivery.

To the first “ServerMediaSession”, you’d add a “PassiveServerMediaSubsession” (for multicast).
To the second “ServerMediaSession”, you’d add your own “OnDemandServerMediaSubsession” subclass, with the “reuseFirstSource” parameter set to “True”.  (This is explained in the FAQ.)

You will probably also need to replicate your input stream, feeding one replica to the multicast stream, and the other replica to your “OnDemandServerMediaSubsession” subclass (in your “createNewStreamSource()” implementation).  You can do this using the “StreamReplica” class.
