[mythtv-users] Myth through routers

I have a moderately complex network:

Mythbackend/frontend (same machine, PVR-350) -- Wireless/Wired Router 1 --
Wired DSL Router (with connection to internet) -- Wireless/Wired Router 2 --
Other PCs
So there are PCs on wireless/wired 1, PCs on the DSL router, and PCs on the
other router. All the routers are the cheapo NAT routers, no real smart
routers or anything.
Mythbackend is statically assigned 192.168.2.150. Wireless router 1 is
192.168.2.1 from the backend, 192.168.1.10 from the outside.

What I want to do is set the backend up so that I can connect to it from
whichever router I want to. As best as I can tell, there are THREE places to
enter an IP Address:

On the frontend, which MySQL Database to connect to
On the backend, "IP Address of this hostname"
On the backend, "IP Address of the master backend"

The frontend is told which server to connect to for the db, but it reads the
db to get the backend IP. How can I tell the frontend to ignore that and use
the IP that I tell it? I tried changing the backend to use the external IP
address, but it's starting to become a recipe for disaster (starts thinking
that it's a slave backend, forgets what its own IP is, etc). Suggestions?
