So stick a router in parallel and just route IPv6 over it. So stick in a IPv6->IPv4 proxy and send that traffic through the load balancer.
Nah considering v6 traffic is small I have a simpler solution, I prefer to set up a temporary web service running v6 native outside LB's and offer experimental service, that way I can keep yelling at Vendors to get their act together because if they don't hear user requests then v6 will not be a priority for them. The last thing you want to go is build a kluge and stay silent.

I wasn't saying don't complain. Adding is seperate IPv6 server is a work around and runs the risk of being overloaded. A proxy should be able to handle a much bigger load as it is just shuffling bits. You should be able to just turn on the IPv6 interfaces on your existing web servers and have them service request over IPv4 and IPv6. That way it doesn't matter about which transport the client picked, they get the same level of service.
