You could use a different protocol :) PTP for example works via
multicast by default, you can use the GStreamer PTP clock on the
clients and use something like ptpd2 on one server.

Apart from that it all would work the same.


Instead of externally distributing the information about which clock to
use, you can also use the RFC7273 mode in gst-rtsp-server and rtspsrc
(or set up the same things via rtpbin). Then this information is also
distributed via the SDP.
