The remote control works through the telnet remote control interface  
of mythfrontend. The backend address can be specified manually either  
by ip or dns name, but the frontend hostname is queried from the  
backend. This means that it can control the frontend no matter where  
you are in the world as long as you can reach the backend and frontend  
and resolve the frontend hostname as given by the backend.

Let me know if you have any further questions!

Thanks
