> 192.168.1.33 mongoliad.gregandeva.net <http://mongoliad.gregandeva.net> is the actual backend machine. The other entries in there are for current or former frontend systems. I obviously can't grep for "NULL". I tried changing this line so that the MasterServerIP hostname is set to "mongoliad.gregandeva.net <http://mongoliad.gregandeva.net>", but no joy; it is still starting as a slave backend.

When I do this, I see that the "this server is master backend" button is checked, and the host name is set to "mongoliad.gregandeva.net <http://mongoliad.gregandeva.net>".

And you don't get an "Exit?" dialog when you leave that screen?  If you do, press "Save then exit".  If you don't, try and toggle it off and on again.
