</div></div>The latter approach--just change the master backend "IP address" setting<br>
by running mythtv-setup on each host *and* update all<br>
$HOME/.mythtv/config.xml files (if nothing else, take the <USN> tag out<br>
of <DefaultBackend> so it will find the correct/current one). (This<br>
presumes that there's no reason to actually swap the host names of the 2<br>
machines--and from a MythTV perspective, there's none.)<br>
