Hi Ervin!

This configuration simply opens two ports for the exact same server.
If you need independent radio stations and listeners on both ports,
you have to start Icecast twice.

Why do you need SSL on a local Icecast? Keep in mind the SSL
implementation of Icecast is very buggy. For example, some connections
never close, keeping them locked forever.

You should use Icecast without SSL and usually for security reasons
only on machines like localhost.
