 After re-booting the master backend, the slave backend failed to re-
 connect to the MBE. From the log it appears that it connected to itself.
 From looking at the code, this shouldn't happen because it should get the
 correct value from the settings cache. The cache only gets cleared around
 the call to update the schema.

 So if the first connection to the MBE socket happens before the schema
 upgrade happens, and it doesn't try again until it needs to reconnect
 after a failure, and the database is unavailable, then it would use the
 default of localhost.

 I'll turn on database logging and see if I can re-create it, but it would
 only happen if it tried to grab the value during the time when the
 database was offline.

 It might be an idea to reload the cache with the master's IP and port and
 maybe a few other key values after turning it back on, if I'm correct
 about the cause.
