ipv6 load balancers exist, one's current load balancer is/may probably

my favourite load balancer is OSPF ECMP, since there are no extra boxes,
just the routers and switches and hosts i'd have to have anyway.

quagga ospf6d works great, and currently lacks only a health check API.

If you're load-balancing N nodes, and 1 node dies, the distribution hash
is re-calced and TCP sessions to all N are terminated simultaneously.
