would it be possible to add a forward-ip parameter, this way we could use a simple HOSTS entry to redirect to 127.0.0.1 and have rtmpsuck connect to the real rtmp server's IP > ping rtmpsrv.example.com
Reply from 128.121.122.50: bytes=32 time=26ms TTL=54

hosts:
127.0.0.1 rtmpsrv.example.com

> rtmpsuck --fwdip 128.121.122.50

That would only be minimally useful. You still need real TCP redirection, for those sites that only use IP addresses.
