Recording RTMFP P2P stream by sending simultaneous stream to FMS (and other things...)

Only just getting started on this whole domain of learning, so go easy!
If I set up a P2P video/audio chat (similar to the sample VideoPhone thing on the Cirrus site), can I get the stream from both parties to send to a server at the same time so that I can record it? If so, would I have to use a FMS to stream it to and perform the recording (and if so which version could I get away with)? Are there any (preferably free, or just tutorialised) solutions for the recording side of things?

Currently it seems like the only option for doing the P2P thing is to use Stratus/Cirrus unless I use FMS4 Enterprise. Is that correct? 

Is there any example code out there that can help? Has anyone got any experience of how effective this kind of situation can be, in terms of quality of the stream and recording? Does any of this make sense?

The Enterprise version of FMS is "Call for price": can anyone give me ball-park figures?

Would appreciate any advice or pointers on these very general questions.

         I really do not know how one can do that - it would be like creating separate stream to server and replicating same data which you send to peer and i do not know how useful it would be - again it will increase the load on server which we are trying to avoid using P2P

    If so, would I have to use a FMS to stream it to and perform the recording (and if so which version could I get away with)?

         I think above answer takes care of this. I am not expert on P2P - so someone can correct me if i am completely off

    Are there any (preferably free, or just tutorialised) solutions for the recording side of things?

         Not something i am aware off.

    Currently it seems like the only option for doing the P2P thing is to use Stratus/Cirrus unless I use FMS4 Enterprise. Is that correct?

         Yes - as of now only FMS4 Enterprise edition supports P2P
