Getting flixd status or limiting concurrent connections

[miked]

Is there some method of getting the overall status from a flixd daemon? What I'd like to be able to do is have multiple clients utilizing multiple flixd machines and have each client be able to query a particular flixd daemon to see how busy it is.

Alternatively, if the flixd daemon could be told to limit the number of concurrent connections, then the clients could simply try to connect and when it is rejected, it knows that particular flixd daemon is busy (or down) and should try the next one.

Thanks,

Each encoding session has its own handle (Resource #xxx). If you start a session you can save this handle in a database. On an other client you can use the flixfunctions feeding with the handle.
