ESB SOAPProxy Action with Load Balancer

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

We are attempting to use SOAPProxy on an endpoint which points to an F5 load balancer. The endpoint resolves to a Web service which is running on 2 hosts.

Everything works fine when SOA-P and the Web service are running on both servers. However when the Web service is shutdown on one server, calls to one of the SOA-P instances are successful, but calls to the other instance fail when attempting to call the proxied web service with this these messages in the logs:
~~~
