The client then uses the information to make an explicit connection: first to the edge, then
to the origin server using a wrapped URI:

{
trace(info.code);
}
uri = "rtmp://yourcompany.com/app/inst";
myXML = new XML();
myXML.onLoad = function(success)

Setting up origin and proxy servers

Use the following guidelines as you install and configure the origin and proxy servers. Using
these guidelines helps ensure satisfactory performance and results:
Make sure your Macromedia license permits you to use proxy servers or a proxy cluster.
Deploy all proxy and origin servers on identical computers.
Use the same operating system (Linux or Windows) on all computers to avoid conflicts
with filenames.
Linux uses case-sensitive filenames; filenames on Windows are case-insensitive.
Install Flash Media Server on the first server.
Configure this instance of Flash Media Server as an origin server.
Install and configure Flash Media Server on all of the edge or proxy servers that your
license permits.
Make sure the fms.ini file is customized on each origin and proxy.
The fms.ini file is machine-specific.
Configure the origin server to listen on one port; you can configure proxies to listen on
one or multiple ports.
Verify that all proxies can access the origin server.
