[streaming] SDP and Streaming

Hi,

I am looking into using a streaming video server, but I am not sure from
the documentation if it will be able to do what I want it to do.

Here is what I need:

Serve an SDP pointing at a static media file via HTTP.
SDP points at an RTSP URL of the streaming server.
Client then connects to the RTSP server and streams the media file.

Can this be achieved? I've read through the RFCs for RTSP and SDP, but I
am not sure what information would have to be in the SDP to make this
work. I tried to test this making the SDP point to a HTTP media source,
but it didn't seem to work. Can this be done? Can an SDP pointing to a
different server to the one it came from (ideally an RTSP one) be used?

Many thanks.

Gordan
