Everything in the database is indexed off the hostname, so changing the 
IP doesn't break much.  Make sure to go into mythtv-setup, and set the 
new IPs for each backend.  You may also need to change the database 
access files on each machine, if they use an IP instead of the hostname 
for the location of the database.
