Versions of config.xml can also be found other places, to be used as defaults, 
such as: /var/lib/mythtv (or wherever your OS assigns the home directory for the 
mythtv user); /etc/mythtv, possibly other places.

** Make sure that all of these are (i) either exactly the same or (ii) links to 
the same file! **

Your DNS settings may be moot if your OS provider changes the rules for 
generating 'hostname'. If your host suddenly gains a new identity, it doesn't 
matter how stable the settings in the database are - they won't apply.
