IPsec, yes, this could be a problem, but as I know the load balancers keep all the session (security association then ?) to the same
"server", as otherwise, the database access, bank transactions, and others, will be broken.

Anyway, may be there is another way to do load-balancing using anycast, but not sure if the actual architecture supports it, may be
again it will depend on how the load-balancers implement it.

Regarding if ISP or Enterprise, and ISP "hosting" services (so offering load balancing for large number of users), could be always
considered an Enterprise ... but I feel that the boundary between both is not clear enough among both design teams.

I agree that such a scenario needs documenting by one of the design teams and that the boundary is not clear. If people want it documented sooner, rather then later, the ISP design team would be the best candidate. Simply because they currently are showing greater momentum in producing a completed set of documents.

NATv6 is a possible solution and the WG may decide that is the best
recommendation in the long run.

Only over numerous dead bodies. As Roy Brabson pointed out, this is
by no means a requirement for server load balancing (and wouldn't
be too helpful if you happened to be using IPSEC or any other
address-sensitive protocol). Also, I can't see why it would become
an IETF recommendation anyway. IPv4 load balancing is widely
implemented without any help from the IETF. We just need to avoid
making it harder.

Certainly, this topic belongs in the enterprise scenario.
