    Ryan,

    An easy way is to make up an ASX that points to 2
    different entries like this:
    <asx version="3.0">
    <entry> <ref href="mms://server:rtsp_port/test.wmv"/>
    </entry>
    <entry> <ref href="mms://server:mms_port/test.wmv"/>
    </entry>
    </asx>

    and ask users to use this ASX. ASX allows fail over - so
    if the 6.4 client cannot connect to first entry (i.e, RTSP
    port), it will try the next entry which will succeed. This
    should work, but the one problem would be that users
    connecting to mms_port will take a little longer to connect
    (because it has to first try the rtsp_port fail and then
    try the next one).

    Alternatively, see if enabling HTTP streaming will work
    for you (please check the "Using the HTTP Protocol"
    section on the server Admin documentation).

    Thx,
    Ravi
