replicate a live stream from one server to another with php and wget [slightly ot]

has anyone here used wget or similar command to redirect/reflect a live stream data from one server to another server ? I wanted to use each server's upload bandwidth to transfer a live stream to a new server

that way, my hope is that I can balance the bandwidth load a bit between servers for users in different areas. Would it just be a question of duplicating the headers of the incoming file and redirecting it to another server?

I am 'fishing' a bit so any help from those who use php with live streaming is appreciated.



Server side:
live stream  is encoded and sent to
streaming server 1 in Los Angeles  which sends the data to
streaming server 2 in Chicago which sends the data to
streaming server 3 in Mexico City


Client Side:
The below is pretty simple to do :)
When the user tries to access the live broadcast stream, a php script determines the nearest non-overloaded server. In this case, the user is directed to the live stream on server two in Chicago

many thanks
