Doesn't look like it.

I checked my old DB (before the master backend upgrade and IP change) and it said:
+--------------------+----------------+--------------------------+
| value              | data           | hostname                 |
+--------------------+----------------+--------------------------+
| BackendServerIP    | 192.168.205.11 | myth                     |
| MasterServerIP     | 192.168.205.11 | NULL                     |
| BackendServerIP    | 192.168.205.3  | gargamel.svh.merlins.org |
| ZoneMinderServerIP | 127.0.0.1      | myth                     |
+--------------------+----------------+--------------------------+

BackendServerIP for gargamel did point to itself back then, and that worked fine.

This however confirmed that I ought to have:

> > ZoneMinderServerIP      127.0.0.1  myth (not the server IP)

But as soon as I set
MasterServerIP          192.168.205.61  NULL (not myth)

then my master backend is unable to start as master backend anymore:
Running as a slave backend.
2008-09-23 12:31:51.857 mythbackend: MythBackend started as a slave backend

so I put the hostname value back to 'myth' instead of NULL and it starts
as master backend again.

For now, I stuck with the master backend that says tries to connect to
0.0.0.0:65535 which yields Could not connect to server "" @ port -1 
(see logs below) and the slave that connects to 0.0.0.0:6543 instead of
192.168.205.61:6543

I'm really wondering what I did to get there. Debugging info doesn't help
much :(
