You also want to make sure that all of your machines have their 
/etc/hosts file correctly set up, and that the 'user' on each remote 
machine has been given access as a mysql user to the mysql server on the 
backend. Otherwise your remote machines may not be able to find the 
server, or will be denied access.
The same subject went by 2 days ago. Check at gossamer-threads for a 
thread headed:
