We run multiple soft IOCs on the same linux box all the time. They

fanning out the UDP requests for PV information.

caRepeater fans out beacon messages to multiple clients on one machine.
It has *nothing* to do with name resolution on the server machine.
It does take care of the same problem, i.e. UDP messages not reaching
all processes that want to receive them. But, again: it does it on the
client side for the UDP beacons (default port 5065), not on the server
side for the UDP name resolution (default port 5064), which is the issue
here.
