I use the below perl script to pause mythwelcome before the BE is up,
otherwise I get the annoying 'can't connect' messages. I use it like this:

until /home/ian/bin/ismythup.pl;do sleep 1;done

in my BE startup script. (it pauses booting until it's all started.)

You should be able to just change the hostname to get it to talk to a remote
backend.

Hope that's some use.

Cheers,

Ian
