After a lot of experimenting I've determined that when I override the "address", I lose the definition of "SOAPAction". I try to define it by adding "action=>....", but I still get 404 error (and I don't see it in the "$trace -> printRequest;" output).

If I don't override the server address (using the one in the WSDL) and specify the correct action, the request works fine.
If I don't override the server address and specify a bogus action, I get a 404 error (as expected).
If I override the server address with the same address (just to test) and specify the correct action, I unexpectedly get a 404 error.

The trace of the request -- using the endpoint address in the WSDL (which works): 
Request:
  POST http://address.of.server1:18082/ServiceRequest HTTP/1.1
  User-Agent: libwww-perl/6.04
  Content-Length: 1178
  Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8"

I need to be able to pass in different server names and override the one in the WSDL. I'd rather avoid the ugliness of multiple copies of the same WSDL as I have many other web services as well.
