[mythtv-users] MythTV needs to listen on 2 ports

[John Moore (Compucom Systems Inc)]

I don't want it to be set to 0.0.0.0.  I want it to be set too my 2 IP's (192.168.2.7 & 192.168.3.7).  I don't think that should be too much to ask.  An if I had a 0.0.0.0 setup, I wouldn't NEED slave servers.  That wouldn't be an issue.  Again, this should be really simple.  MythTV Master backend could allow ALL if NO slaves.  The moment you want slaves, must remove the ALL NICs config.  An it could all be configured thru the gui they already have.

What about creating a Virtual Nic on the MythTV Backend an give it eth2. Set it too 10.0.0.1 an tell mythtv to listen on that. The configure Ubuntu to forward all traffic from ports 3306, 6544, & 6543 on the 2 physical networks (eth0 an eth1) to the Virt NIC. 

Keep in mind I am talking about doing all this forwarding internal to the box.  Not messing with my network at all.

Do the frontend clients even need to talk to SQL?

The problem is that the Master Backend IP is used for more than just where to listen - it also tells the slaves and frontends where the master is.  So while setting that to 0.0.0.0 seems like the way to have it listen on all IPs - it will also make it so that the other machines can't find it.
