Is your backend and frontend on the same machine or different machines?  
I'm guessing different machines.  That being the case, the frontend 
should not be named "localhost.localdomain" but needs to have a unique name.

The process is different for different distributions.  On mine, I edit 
/etc/sysconfig/network to change the name.
