This is one of the ways some load-balancer vendors do IPv6 today. They still talk IPv4 to the servers, so you don't need to modify anything, just add an AAAA managed by the load balancer. It is a kind of combination between NAT-PT and load-balancer. Regards, Jordi

Best of luck with it; load-balancers aren't generally hiding in ISP's backbones and it hasn't been major revenue for the traditional router crowd. Net result is there hasn't been much IPv6 attention in that market...
I suppose, but certain places like Mozilla, would be dead in the water without load balancers. Citrix got their act together and shipped 8.0 with v6 vips on the front talking to v4 servers on the backend.
Rock on Citrix.
