No!  You should test your back-end stream using "openRTSP" *FIRST*, before 
using a media player.  The reason for this is that media players usually do not 
give you a clear indication of what is going on.  (For example, "VLC" 
automatically - behind the scenes - requests RTP/RTCP-over-TCP streaming if 
RTP-over-UDP streaming appears to fail.  So you won't know whether or not you 
need to give the proxy server the "-t" option.)

NOTE TO EVERYONE:  When you're testing a RTSP stream to check whether it's 
available, "openRTSP" should be the *FIRST* thing that you try.  Only then 
should you try using a media player.

And it makes no sense to talk about "connecting openRTSP (or any other client) 
to a back-end stream when it fails", because that probably won't tell you 
anything.  You'd be requesting a whole new session.
