[mythtv-users] How is a master backend identified?

[Rob Rosenfeld]

Thanks much.

I already have my database on a separate machine from any of the
backends, so I don't think that will be an issue.  So it sounds like
it's just updating mythtv-setup on all machines with the IP of the new
box.  I can configure my DHCP to assign the new hardware the old IP,
so that shouldn't be an issue.

How about hostname?  I think I've seen a lot of stuff in the database
stored by hostname instead of IP.  If I want to keep settings, do I
need to use the same hostname?  If I don't want fresh settings, must I
make sure not to use the same hostname?
