You MUST use a static IP address. Myth uses the MasterServerIP and 
BackendServerIP addresses for the frontend to find the backend. But it 
relies on networking settings to do that. plus the frontend is 
denuminated by a 'hostname' setting, which networking also resolves to 
an IP address. Some of that is avoided when it is a BE/FE box, but mysql 
always thinks that it is on another computer and uses networking to talk 
to the server. (THere are some exceptions but that has to be set up). So 
/etc/hosts is important.
