The host in mysql.db should be 'localhost'. Midgard does not use it
itself; it is only there to grant the midgard user access.
The 'name' field from the 'host' table in the database you created
separately to store the Midgard data is what matters.

I'll not deny that Midgard setup can be daunting at times. Midgard is an
orchestration of PHP, Apache and MySQL and requires that you get to know
all a little.
Eddies installation guide is pretty accurate. Set up the mysql.db exactly
as he describes it, and leave it at that. localhost is what should be
there. All other modifications will be to the midgard database, not to the
mysql grants database.

The monster package should be more up your alley then.
