The idea is good, but even if you have a wowza server, abd theorically it could be a repeater of streams, it is difficult to make it work integrated with the different cam sites. There is not like a standard for all cam sites to receive stream from a server, rather than a PC. The reason is, should the cam sites provide some "API" or way to send video from a server and chat interface separately, instead most have a single flash client that manage both chat and video streaming, implying comes from your pc cam. Some cam sites allow sending video from an encoder, that could be hacked to send from a server, but it is rocket science.
So what we get in reality, it is super slow splitcammed streams sent to multiple sites. Model splits her bandwidth so resulting video in the various sites is bad and choppy in all of them.
