Our tests with multiple gearman servers shows that if the last server in the list (192.168.1.201 in your case) is taken down, the workers stop executing the way you are describing. (Also, the workers grab jobs from the last server. They process jobs on .200 only if on .201 there are no jobs).

It seems that this is a bug with the linked list in the gearman server, which is reported to be fixed multiple times, but with all available versions of gearman, the bug persist. Sorry, I know that's not a solution, but we had the same problem and didn't found a solution. (if someone can provide working solution for this problem, I agree to give large bounty)
