Definitely not in the way you're doing. Go back to what I said originally: make your client set the FaultTo on the outgoing message. To easily check this, why not try chaining two ESB instances together and pull the EPR information for FaultTo from one of the To EPRs of the chained quickstart. (Hope that makes sense to you.) If you want to hand create an EPR yourself, then check the quickstarts. I'd also suggest starting out with one of the more simpler types of EPR, like the File based one.
