You'll need to write a cron job (or something similar) to detect if your gateway is down and update the settings table.
This is definitely not standard - but you can do it if you must.

The problem I'm facing is : when I set the backend adress to 127.0.0.1 the laptop won't connect but when I set the backend adress to the "real" ip adress everything works but my gateway needs to be powered on even if I only use the frontend+backend box. Is there a way for the frontend to fallback to 127.0.0.1 if the "real" ip doesn't work or to sepcify multiple IPs to try for the backend. I also don't understand why this adress is a global setting cause 'netstat -a | grep tcp' reports that the backend is not listening on a particular adress ( *:* ) so it's only a frontend setting and it could be configured the same way you have to configure the mysql server settings the first time mythfrontend is launched.
