Ah, perfect... I didn't realize that capability was there.

Looks like what I want to do is remove /usr/local/share/mythtv/mysql.txt
and create a /root/.mythtv/mysql.txt and another one in
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt which I'll be tweaking once in a while
with a different 'LocalHostName' to try different frontend settings
against a common persistant backend.

Thanks!
