if you use steamcast you can use the ip user limits to set limits on how many clients can connect from a certain ip.

you would replace the shoutcast server with steamcast. You can find steamcast at www.steamcast.com

you would just extract the files and configure steamcast using the included steamcast.conf file as a base. As far as whether one is better than the other, that is completely subjective. I wrote steamcast so naturally I am going to be biased.
