Yes, in 6) you've told the vlc server where to send the stream to. For a
different solution check
http://www.videolan.org/doc/videolan-howto/en/vod.html. This should work
in small environments quite well. What I'm using the description I sent
for is using multicasts to save some bandwidth and connect many clients
to few streams (at least in theory ;)
