Comment:

 Either way, no. MythTV does not require the database and master backend
 exist on the same machine. The only thing changing the IP address for the
 master backend in mythtv-setup will do is change the entry in the database
 indicating the location of the master backend.

 As to "all the files", there is only ever the one file, located at either
 ${MYTHCONFDIR}/config.xml or ${HOME}/.mythtv/config.xml. If you start any
 MythTV application interactively, and it cannot connect to the database
 with the existing information, or discover the database on its own using
 UPnP, it will ask you where the database is, and subsequently update that
 file with the revised information. It is unreasonable to expect MythTV to
 search through the HOME folders of different users on the system, or
 access other systems on your network, to update other copies of that file,
 and any sentient user should be aghast at such capability and all the
 security measures MythTV would need to circumvent in order to accomplish
 that.
