<div>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.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>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.</div>
