Node that is not on network is shown as 'unreachable'

This behavior has manifest on two new validators that were onboarded to TestNet this week, but not on the other validators on that network. TestNet is running indy-node=1.6.78.

valNode01 is a node that was once on the TestNet, but it has been removed with a ledger entry with services=[] written to the ledger. The issue is that in spite of this, this node is shown as if it is an active node that is unreachable in validator-info. In the logs, you can see that the new validators are attempting to contact it as well. This occurs on these 2 new validators, but not on the other  ones in the pool. At least for these 2 validators, this is a drag on consensus, and could also influence client behavior as well.

The pool ledgers are in sync on all nodes.

validator-info output,  the pool ledger, and logs from one of the new nodes are attached.
