If it's responding to pings from addresses not on your network, then it sounds like your network guys may need to look at their ACLs... it sounds like there may be more to this issue than what is presented here.

 

Which addresses on your LTM are responding to pings? It is one of your virtual servers or the management interface? Regardless, you can firewall off any ICMP requests that hit the LTM.
