Which server will get the load?

Question

Hi all
I have 2 servers, on 'server1', I have an flv file, on
'server2', I have an swf file.
The swf file on server2 loads the flv file on server1. My
question is, which server will get the burden of the load of the
flv file? Additionally, how can I test this to confirm this (bare
in mind, I'm not a server guy).
Any help is always appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

You can basically publish it to one Origin Server and that server will republish the incoming stream to other 3 origin servers. This feature is called Multi-point publish. Basically you use application.onPublish and onUnpublish handlers in conjunction with Server-side NetStream Class to achieve this.
Simple example:
var nc;
var ns;
application.onAppStart = function(){
      nc = new NetConnection();
     nc.onStatus = function(info){
          // you can trace connection status here
     nc.connect("rtmp://Origin_Server_2/myApp");
application.onPublish = function(myClient,myStream){
    ns = new NetStream(nc);
    ns.attach(myStream);
    ns.publish(myStream.name,"live");
application.onUnpublish = function(myClient,myStream){
      ns.publish(false);
