Question: What could cause the first trace below to succeed, but the second trace to fail?

Taking the 69.61.40.33/28 subnet a bit further, .36 drops at 68.86.84.70 but .37 - .39 make it. .40 drops at 68.86.84.70, but .41 makes it.
Crazy.
Btw, the problem has now been resolved, however I'm still curious as to what scenario could have caused that.
Perhaps CEF-style load balancing over multiple paths, with one of them down and not properly failing over? Per-flow balancing would decide which path to use based on source & target IP.
