Are you sure that IP1 is configured on this host ?
This error means that there is no such address.

It's better to rewrite this:

as

     server {
 	listen	     843;
 	server_name  localhost;
 
 	location = / {
 		alias /var/www/html/crossdomain.xml;
 	}
 	
 	error_page 400 /crossdomain.xml;
 
 	location = /crossdomain.xml {
 		root /var/www/html;
 	}
     }
