Hey has anyone ever got the 25 free streams with RealServer to work with virtualhosts? Or do you need to purchase the ISP version or something? I am not going to shell out all of that money for 3-4 customers who are willing to pay $5 for a stream .

Uhm, why not do HTTP streaming (and save the money on RealServer)?

bandwidth?

True, in which case you should do a cost analysis and see which eventually costs more That said, HTTP streaming is a viable alternative (since I consider Real to be money-grubbers)

It's a good point well made. As bandwidth costs fall and the introduction of alternative streaming technology emerges there doesn't seem to me to be any justification for their prices.
