Yes it does, it's the IP of the LAN in the clound, and it all works fine 
with 18.2.

I believe it's possible that the issue is caused by the configuration in 
the operating system (Ubuntu 14.04.4 x86_64) but currently I have no 
idea how to further debug this issue.

With esl-erlang 18.2 and the following configs in bashrc:

export ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
export ERL_EPMD_PORT="5678"

epmd works fine:

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:5678          0.0.0.0:* LISTEN      6754/epmd
tcp        0      0 10.131.70.80:5678       0.0.0.0:* LISTEN      6754/epmd
