Asl-broadcastify streaming to multiple servers from a single node number

Greetings:

I just got the new asl-broadcastify service configured to stream to my own Icecast server at 64K rather than Broadcastify. It works great. My server has burst on connect disabled, so the round-trip time from audio coming from my node to VLC on my phone is less than a second, and the Icecast server isn't on my network.

I noticed some typos in the documentation, such as Braodcastify and outstreacmd, but I was able to follow it well enough. However, I do have one question that wasn't covered.

Is it possible to stream to multiple servers from a single node fifo? I want to send output from a single node to both Broadcastify at 16k and to my own Icecast server at 64k. Icecast has considerably less delay while higher quality audio, and Broadcastify has long-term archiving, and some people use it for listening.

Can I just create a second configuration file under a different name, point it at the same fifo and run that along-side the existing one, or will that cause problems?

I have previously been doing this by just using a second private node with it's own outstreamcmd the legacy way, but it would be great if I didn't have to do it like that anymore.

Theoretically, yes. I never tested it but multiple readers of the pipe should work just fine. The asl-broadcastify@ template service should run any arbitrary .conf file you put in that directory named whatever. The node numbers are just for order and logic, not syntactically meaningful.
