Ben and Jeff,

Back to try to wrap this up...  Just added a timeout loop to watch pvConnected() and it shows I only needed a small delay after pvAssign().  Haven't seen any adverse effects on the RTEMS client using this dynamic reconnection scheme.  By doing this, I've reduced the number of monitored PVs in the legacy sequencers from 8032 to 36.

When rebooting the RTEMS client (running the sequencers), reconnection to the VxWorks server has taken as long as 4min.  I've added a stringout to give me the status of the connections.  VxWorks cleans up the dead sockets eventually, so this shouldn't be an issue during normal operations.

Thanks for all the time you have put into sorting out the various issues.  Let me know if there's anything further you want to test.

Wesley
