This is indeed the question. Is there any work (in IETF probably) that
describes what a load balancer is and what it should support in an
IPv6 environment?

If not I think we need to improvise.
I also think that load balancing is crucial to the deployment not only
for IPv6 content but any IPv6 service that needs to scale.
