You've got it. And both is the answer because if the addresses mismatch,
then the backend is known to be a slave backend. With the 127... addresses,
you'll see entries in the backend log about UPnP being deactivated (I don't
recall the actual wording.)

If you need an impartial test, then from a remote browser, enter this

     <yourBackendHostNameOrIP>:6544/Myth/GetHostName

If the backend is setup correctly, you'll get something like this:

     <String>yourHostNameHere</String>

If that doesn't work, then the app won't.
