We have found the resolution for this issue, you will need to unchecked few boxes by going to Local Traffic --> Virtual Servers : Virtual Server List --> Virtual Address List (2 tab from the top) and select the IP in question and turn off ARP and ICMP Echo.

 

Once you do that and restart you back end node and go to Network --> ARP --> Dynamic list you will see the IP in question will have status incomplete and when it box fully up that ARP table will resolve itself.
