WCF / ASMX :: WCF Deadletter Queue Service Stops Picking Up Messages

I have a custom dead letter queue service to pick up messages from DLQ. This service picks up failed message from DLQ and tries to resend to a different end point. If the new endpoint doesn't work, it rolls back transaction. This works great. Here is the code.

{
[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single,
ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Single,
AddressFilterMode = AddressFilterMode.Any)]
public class FDPDLQService : IFDService
{
FDPManager _fdpManager = new FDPManager();
[OperationBehavior(TransactionScopeRequired = true, TransactionAutoComplete = true)]
public void ProcessFDMessage(FDMessage message)
{
//System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch();
try
{
MsmqMessageProperty mqProp =
OperationContext.Current.IncomingMessageProperties[MsmqMessageProperty.Name] as MsmqMessageProperty;
// if message log required, and configured, log the incoming message
try
{
ChannelFactory<IFDPRouter> factory = new ChannelFactory<IFDPRouter>("IFDPRouter_EP");
IFDPRouter proxy = factory.CreateChannel();
string ep = proxy.GetNextEPForGivenEP(OperationContext.Current.IncomingMessageHeaders.To.ToString());
if (ep == null || ep == string.Empty)
{
throw new EndpointNotFoundException(Common.Constants.FDP_NOT_FOUND_EXCEPTION_MESSAGE);
}
// Process message with next end point available
_fdpManager.ProcessFDMessage(message, ep);
}
catch (EndpointNotFoundException enfe)
{
ExceptionManager.HandleException(enfe);
Transaction.Current.Rollback();
//throw;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ExceptionManager.HandleException(ex);
Transaction.Current.Rollback();
//throw;
}
}
}
}

Below is config entries.

This works great.

But if all endpoints are not available for a long period of time, and if service rolls message back to the DLQ for a long period of time, after a certain period of time service stops picking up messages from DLQ. I am not sure which configuration is responsible for this.
