Thanks Cal. Simple setup. Authenticated users also get affected when
this happens, indicates something else is going on. Don't have any other
ideas at the moment. Would suggest opening a TAC case.

No, there is a single managed subnet for this setup, no VLANs (or
rather, the single default VLAN). Elsewhere on the network we have two
subnets being managed by one CAS, and I know about managed subnet
settings, but the wireless setup is rather simple:

Router -> CAS -> Switch -> 4400 Controllers -> APs -> Clients

Virtual IP, so Router is at aa.bb.cc.1, CAS trusted is .2, untrusted is
.3, controller public/client interfaces are on aa.bb.cc.11, .12, etc,
and Clients get DHCP relayed from a central DHCP server. Controllers and
access points communicate on a private subnet/VLAN which is routed
around the CAS, not through it. Wireshark confirms we're not seeing that
VLAN at the CAS interface.

The clients are ARPing for the untrusted interface of the CAS, which is
where the authentication web page is served, of course. When the arp
traffic begins, communication is disrupted and even authenticated
clients can't get through.
