Clay,

When you use your XBox to record something, it's not actually doing the
recording. Your backend system is, which in your case is also another
frontend. The backend may not necessarily store the recording locally (most
do, but you could use an NFS mount for a really big drive somewhere), but
it does all the recordings because that's where the tuner cards are. The
frontends are merely interfaces for that activity, in the same way that
MythWeb is.

So, in a word... no. I don't believe that there is any field in the
recorded table that stores which frontend made the recording request, which
is (at least) what would be needed to implement your request.

Glad to hear you have everything setup and working though. Another one into
the flock.
