Highly, it means that the IOC is not sending out any CA beacons at all, which 
explains why the clients are not reconnecting to it immediately.  Try setting 
EPICS_CAS_BEACON_ADDR_LIST on the IOC to your 164.54.160.255 broadcast 
address, although it should default to the value of EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST if not 
set so I don't understand why it's ignoring that (unless you have other env 
settings for the IOC that you haven't told us about).
