[mythtv-users] Sharing backend with VPN

Hi, i'm trying to share my backend over Hamachi VPN, and I'm facing a
problem. The problem is the backend says it's IP is 192.168.1.2 (which is
correct, for my local LAN) but then other frontends not in my local LAN are
trying to connect to an IP that doesn't exist. The mysql connection is no
problem, it's the backend connection on port 6543 (after a GET_RECODER
something command).

So, the first thing I tried was to change the backend IP to the Hamachi IP
(5.x.x.x) which indeed works, but now the problem is that now even all my
local frontends need Hamachi VPN, and when the Hamachi servers are down
(happens, although not for very long) or your internet connection is down,
you can't watch TV even at home. Bummer.

Any ideas on how to solve this?
