It should be doing that automatically without you needing to set EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST.  Can you send the output of the following commands Linux command in the shell where you are running camonitor.

ifconfig
printenv | grep EPICS

At the IOC shell prompt on both the first and second IOCs send the output of

epicsPrtEnvParams


What happens if you set EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST manually to the broadcast address of your system?  For example on my system ifconfig shows:

p5p1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 164.54.160.82  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 164.54.160.255
        inet6 fe80::3efd:feff:fea3:f258  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether 3c:fd:fe:a3:f2:58  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 80276465019  bytes 92598173910474 (84.2 TiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 114  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 32261858165  bytes 16671972218313 (15.1 TiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

So I would set EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST=164.54.160.255
