Thanks, that fixed it. On the Production backend, /etc/hostname = 
'mythbuntu'. When I add that to the INSERT command and reboot I now see 
the two backends currently running on my network, but only one has the 
friendlyName I created.

This actually solves a secondary problem of connecting frontends to the 
right backend. However, when I create a new test backend, I need to make 
sure the other backends or offline at that moment. mythtv-setup seems to 
always find the backend that is NOT 127.0.0.1.
