The load-balancing algorithm cannot have such an impact on the functional behaviour of the site. Either all algos fail (with varying failure rates) or all work. Your description makes me think that your site may require persistence, and that using a different algo most often hides a pending issue. You'd better double check before you're hit by a bigger problem !
