I was serving the stream to another server which was responsible for actually handling the broadcast traffick (I think they call it a relay server or something in the shoutcast manuals). But all I had to do was run the DSP plugin with Winamp and connect to the relay server so I could stream out. I found what would happen without the port redirects was that people could connect, it would buffer up to about 75% then the connection would hang. When the person would disconnect from the stream the server would not properly close the socket. The reason for it was the data stream is sent out via port 8000 (at least in this case it was), the shoutcast server sends statistic data back on $DATA_PORT+1 (or in my case port 8001). Since the Shoutcast server was unable to send or receive data properly on this port it was messing things up. Hope this clears up a bit, you won't need any redirects just to listen to a Shoutcast stream, but if you want to use the DSP plugin in Winamp to stream data to a relay server from behind a natd firewall you will need to add the redirects.
