The ip address in /home/mythtv/.mythtv is for the database, which need 
not be the same as any backend ip address. You need to run mthtv-setup 
on the primary backend and set its ip address in general-> host address 
backend setup. Also make sure to check "This host is the master backend".

Then run mythtv-setup on the secondary backend and set its ip address in 
general-> host address backend setup. "This host is the master backend" 
will not be checked on this one.
