This is probably caused by your .pac script (or dns) directing difefrent
requests to different caches. Server sees different hosts to request
documents within the same session and many applications do not like it.

The pac script should probably direct the same destination site to the same
proxy. We have L3 switches (Nortel Alteon, similar functionality should be
provided by linux IPVS) that balance proxies using source IP hashing, which
results in using still the same proxy by each client
