Does the backend have its database open to connections from other than
localhost?

(In other words, you should not have bind-address = 127.0.0.1 in
/etc/mysql/my.conf.)

Is there a firewall between (or on) the backend and your frontend?

Have you successfully used this backend with any other frontend (not
counting the backend system itself)?

Well no, it turns out it doesn't, despite the fact that I'm sure I set
it to 0.0.0.0 for listen on all addresses assigned.

No, although I know have new avenues to explore.
