FMS 3.5.2 in Development mode: are external connections accepted?

Does FMS 3.5.2 in development impose restrictions via the origin of connections? That is, does it only allow localhost connections via ActionScript (NetConnection) or are external connections allowed?

In other words, can I have FMS in dev mode on a dedicated server and then have my client code running on a different machine that opens connections to this development server?

The docs say that the only difference in dev mode vs full licensed is that the number of connections is limited to to 10, but it doesnt say anything about their origin.

Can anyone definitely comment on this?

Thanks

    The development server is fully functional and you can connect up to 10 connections with it either locally or externally...open port 1935 in your router and use your external IP address  for the rtmp connection.

    The FMS server is on a VMWare instance running on the same host as the client SWF (OS X).

    That being said, to rule out an VM issues I installed FMS on a physical Windows machine, connected to my client machine via Wireless on the same network (not going in/out router, no port forwarding needed).

    Same issue.
