I believe what you want is...

on the BE+FE

Local Backend - IP Address 192.168.0.35
Master Backend - IP Address 192.168.0.35

on the FE

Database server settings - Hostname 'your_BE_hostname_here'

At least that's what I have (different IP addresses, naturally) and it works.  
Presumably the 'your_BE_hostname_here' can be the IP address of the backend 
server, I just have the hostname tho...


HTH,

Bryan.
