BackendServerAddr and MasterServerName replaced MasterServerIP in V30, 
but if you have not done any update since V29 it may not have been set 
up. I believe the code will still use MasterServerIp if 
BackendServerAddr and MasterServerName are not set up..

You can set it up by running mythtv-setup -> General -> Host Address 
Backend Setup on the machine in question. The entry for "Primary IP 
Address/DNS Name" is what is used for BackendServerAddr.

I don't know what happens if you have two entries for the same hostname. 
That should not be allowed.
