Server relay

This had been brought up before, but I don't know if it was in IRC or on the forum. I found only one post related to this...

The idea is if there were a big match (a 1v1 or clan match, or tourney match) where lots of spectators want to join in and watch (more than the server limit) then you could have one of the spectator spots be a relay to another server. Then maybe the spectators could vcall who they wanted to spec in the match.

On a side note, I tested the server demo recording feature and I'd love to be able to select only one stream (player) to record instead of everyone on the server at once. You could even make that a vcall to decide who will get server-recorded.

Your thoughts?

Great idea, was allready mentioned in my thread about "things we want to see". I really like it and know it from other games (i.e. GTV for Q3). The good thing is, that you only need 2 spectators for 1v1 and people can switch then between the NexTV channels to see their favorite player. It would also make sure, that demos will be recorded without jerking. Bandwith usage is very low for the server admins. To prevent cheating, a delay has to be added (something like 2 minutes). I also like a "chat" for NexTV users, which cant be seen on the real server.

Hmm i'm not sure if its possible with the current demo format.. but yeah it would be great!
