Yes, if the faultTo is set.

To the replyTo.   If unset, the faultTo is equal to the replyTo.

Well, yes and no.  If a fault or something occurs BEFORE the processing of the 
WS-Addressing headers, it would.   Things like IO exceptions, possibly 
security things, malformed XML, etc....   Those would go directly back to the 
client.   Once the WS-Addressing maps are processed, the answer is no.
