Does the "load-balance" type in home_server_pool can handle when one the home_server of the pool is down?

Yes.

Does it loose tickets in such a situation or can i consider it as a "fail-over" pool too?

"load-balance" for home_server_pools will skip home servers that are down. e.g. with 4 servers in a load balance pool, and 1 is down, the requests will be split 1/3, 1/3, and 1/3 between the servers that are up. Alan DeKok.
