The only thing mythbackend does to decide whether to run a master or 
slave is to check to see if the local IP address defined for that 
hostname is the same as the master IP address.  Run mythtv-setup on your 
backend, set both of those addresses to 192.168.188.231, and your 
backend will run as master, and listen on your network for remote 
connections.
