In that particular circumstance I would suggest setting up a firewall to
deny access to ports 5064 and 5065, or that running your tests on a VM
with no external network access would make more sense. You can of course
use your modified version of the CA Repeater on your development machine
without having to get it included in EPICS Base as long as you start it
by hand before any CA client; the standard client library will still
connect to it normally.
I would be wary of adding a variable like this which could very easily
break operational systems in subtle and hard-to-trace ways. Unless there
is support for it from other people in the EPICS community I don't think
your patch or anything equivalent will be viable.
Sorry,
