The only reason I can think of for it not working 100% of the time is that the server conditions aren't the same 100% of the time. Is everything being served from the same server all the time, or are you using any sort of cloud or load balancing setup? Also, what do your error and access logs say? Are the access logs recording every hit, even the failed ones? Lastly, have a look at the output of a phpinfo() call to see if that shows anything obviously different from your development setup.
