If you do not give a host name or IP address on the commandline to the 
script, it looks in the "settings" table for BackendServerIP and takes 
the first value it finds there. I suspect that there is still an old 
value there for your first (now unused) frontend. You can either delete 
everything form settings that contains this old hostname, or pass the 
correct name or IP address of the backend on the commandline to the script.
