Flash requires that this file is located at the root of your HTTP server ( e.g. http://flash.example.org/crossdomain.xml).
After having spent several hours implementing the above, I came to realize that my Flash actually never sends GET request for /crossdomain.xml anyway, instead it tries to get this file from a standalone server running on port 843 by sending somewhat obscure <policy-file-request/>\0. So the final remedy was Apache module mod_socket_policy_server - An Adobe® Socket Policy Server http://socketpolicyserver.com/ Hope it helps someone.
