Looking to use a native wowza plugin to redirect a user to the appropriate server based on the users source IP. Like geo location but with a predefined list. POssible?

Hello @Stuart DeVaan,

Thanks for contacting Wowza via our Forums.

The Wowza Load Balancer has an option to balance load based on private address space.

Details on this functionality are outlined on page 40 of the Load Balancer User Guide.
