It should be, but unfortunately there's no easy way to do that...  If
you're able to hack around in the code, you can change the second and
third arguments in the call to connect_udp_endpoint in
rtsp.c:rtsp_udp_setup() so that it connects the outbound UDP socket to a
different IP address and port than what is specified by the RTSP
connection.  Then you can use an RTSP client on the Spook system to
initiate a connection and start the stream, which will be directed to the
new destination you hard-coded.  -Nathan
