Uh, what? If this is really a slave backend, then the "Backend IP" /should/ be 
set to that of the master - that's the only way it know there /is/ a master and 
that it is itself a slave.

(ie the master has both IP addresses set the same. Any slave has it's own IP 
address as the top entry, and the master's as the second entry.)

You should only ever be using 127.0.0.1 as any IP address if the box is a 
stand-alone backend-frontend combo.
