This is not a question for mythtv-dev.

You would need to move the DB to the "new" master backend if there is
/any/ chance of the "new" slave backend (and "new" DB host) being
unavailable when you want to be able to use MythTV. In addition to
moving the database, you would also need to update the configuration
settings for any backends/frontends to point to the new DB host.
