No Darren, CF type endpoints MUST point to FDS and NOT to CF itself. It's always FDS that will communicate with CF and never the swf file itself.
I'm not talking about the crossdomain but the data-management. In there you have all your destinations definitions. If you take a look in the deployment of FDS (c:\fds?) there is a resource\config folder where you can find an example of a cf destination. inside of it, you'll see that there is a property that will define which host is using cf and that destination will try to connect. in the admin panel that you talked about, yes, you need to configure FDS IP address there so CF will allow that machine to communicate with CF itself. The main point is, if you don't define in your destination configuration (<destination id="somedestination">...) what is the cf hostname, FDS will think that CF is running locally. João Fernandes
