I am an idiot.
 
Thanks for this.  You know, lots of people *claim* to have read this and did 
not catch it!
 
..and thanks for the idea!

        Halfway down the first page is this:
        
          As the name implies, unicast rollover first tries to view a video
          via multicast, but if multicast fails it will play the same video
          via multicast.
        
        You *will* use multicast!  MMwuahahah!  :-)  I don't think that is
        what you meant.
        
        It seems like a pretty nice approach that an application can take
        to me.  It might be nice if the source has a good feature set at
        their disposable to be able to do things like "only these netblocks
        can get the [unicast|multicast] stream", or only X simultaneous
        unicast streams permitted at one time and so on.
