I checked the mysql.txt files on both systems, each has their localhostname set
LocalHostName=gazerbeam
LocalHostName=everseer

but... in the config.txt they are nearly identical.
gazerbeam:
<Configuration>
  <UPnP>
    <MythFrontend>
      <DefaultBackend>
        <DBHostName>xx.xx.xx.xx</DBHostName>
        <DBUserName>mythtv</DBUserName>
        <DBPassword>xxxxxxxx</DBPassword>
        <DBName>mythconverg</DBName>
        <DBPort>3306</DBPort>
      </DefaultBackend>
    </MythFrontend>
    <UDN>
      <MediaRenderer>{9480e351-1d3b-4293-9e50-6f39eb7005a</MediaRenderer>
    </UDN>
  </UPnP>
</Configuration>

everseer:
<Configuration>
  <UPnP>
    <MythFrontend>
      <DefaultBackend>
        <DBHostName>xx.xx.xx.xx</DBHostName>
        <DBUserName>mythtv</DBUserName>
        <DBPassword>xxxxxxxx</DBPassword>
        <DBName>mythconverg</DBName>
        <DBPort>3306</DBPort>
      </DefaultBackend>
    </MythFrontend>
    <UDN>
      <MediaRenderer>{5acbede8-dfd1-4700-af3f-68257cb86a0</MediaRenderer>
    </UDN>
  </UPnP>
</Configuration>

(edited out IP and password)

Another thing I noticed is that if I delete the "config.xml" file it
will automatically re-create itself when I launch the front-end. Where
is it pulling this data from?
