Default Re:chat server on redhat

I see, from our faq page,
http://www.123flashchat.com/faq.html#d1
you can find more info about it:

What if 123 flash chat server and 123 flash chat client are placed on different server machines?

Assume you started 123 flash chat server on a domain named www.server.com, while you placed swf file in a web site named www.yourhost.com, and you entered a host like www.server.com or its IP in client.xml, in such case your chat room surely can't connect with www.server.com due to a security restriction of flash player.
Try these methods to solve this problem:
1. Place your swf file under the hostname of www.server.com, too. It definitely works.
2. If the first alternative is out of your reach, try the next one: in your dns server, add an A record, eg: chat.yourhost.com, to direct an IP address the same with www.server.com, then change the host to chat.yourhost.com to update your client.xml, now your chat room can work normally.
My point is: you'd better set a sub domain to your home internet ip, eg, if your main web site is www.yourweb.com , and it's hosted by your host provider, then you can add a sub domain like chat.yourweb.com , point to your lan ip, then edit the client.xml, change host to: chat.yourweb.com , this way can resolve the security restriction of flash player.
