I think what you need to do is in the settings make sure that 'use a 
unique identifier for this frontend' (the wording might be off, but 
that's close) is checked, and provide a unique name (preferebly the 
hostname) for that frontend. Do this for each frontend, then it will 
create separate settings for each frontend, as opposed to trying to 
shoehorn each frontend into the same settings. Then you can set the 
master backend address/name for each frontend.
