In this case you will have to do a client-side solution to interrogate the server and get the connection count, either by using an HTTPProvider or a RTMP netconnection.call.

Based on the number of connections from the answer, you should decide to send a play request to that particular server or not.

Hi,

You could do it using a custom Wowza module and use something like this: How to redirect an HTTP or RTSP session through server-side code
