Yes, you could do much of this with apache/mod_proxy but not 'as well'.will the v6 access really be enough to require LB's? or are they there for other reasons (global lb for content close to customers, regionalized content) perhaps reasons which would matter 'less' in an initial v6 world where you were getting the lb's fixed by their vendor? (or finding a vendor that supports v6 lb?) PLB pure load balancer (*BSD) supports ipv6. Since Redhat Enterprise Server currently meets all of our layer-3 load balancing needs we haven't evaluated other commercial load balancers in about a year.
