Resolution
Loading pktscan.nlm on the failing bm server and taking a lan trace and compare it to a trace accessing the same site but thru a working bm, it was visible that the failing bm server was not getting the complete javascript code. Above bm, there was another firewall mangling with the javascript code and causing the failure. Once the above firewall was fixed, issue went away.
