Hello,

A somewhat similar can be achived using relayd, but this kind of load balancing shouldn't be done on L2/L3 level. This kind of load balancing should be done on Layer7 with some application level load balancers. That way you can also do more then this (like sanitizing the requests before they get to the actual servers).

Some projects exists out there to do this, like pound[1], or also nginx has
some features for this propose, and even apache2.2 is being extended into this
direction.

Most of these projects don't have IPv6 support, whil pf has IPv6 support builtin. We are using pf for load balancing HTTP for more than a years now, successfully.
