Asynchronous WCF fails with MessageSecurityException when multiple worker processes (Web Garden)

I have a simple WCF service using ws2007HttpBinding which puts in a configurable delay, then returns. The service is configured to be PerCall. The service is hosted on IIS 7.5 on Windoes 2008 Server R2 SP1

I am call this asynchronously via console app using an imported service reference.

I can easily inject 10000 requests and they are all successful. Each request uses a new WCF proxy. The CPU was running about 70%

I wanted to see if adding another worker process would help throughput and utilise the full 100% cpu. I configured it to have 2 worker processes.

When I ran this it began to fail virtually immediately with a MessageSecurityException. Even if I set the number of requsts to 10, it still fails. I noticed that it fails more if the timer in the WCF service is short ( between 10 and 50 ms). A higher delay causes less failures.

It either fails on the proxy.Open() or proxy.Close()

I investigated this and thought it might be related to secure conversation. So I disabled this by setting establishSecurityContext="false" (Is this correct?) I am confused why this would be the case if I am creating a new proxy each time

This dis not seem to make any difference.

When I return the AppPool to have only 1 worker process it works again

Has anybody had the same issue, and managed to get a solution. If so can you post you solution in explicit detail.

The errors received are as follows

In the WCF trace it reported The incoming message is not part of an existing security session
