Interesting.  Do you have any idea where I can get some more information 
regarding this?

Keep in mind that NATing is not the only place that load balancing is 
used.  I call to mind my recent thread "Redundant internet connections" 
(http://mailman.ds9a.nl/pipermail/lartc/2007q2/021015.html) where I had 
globally routable IP addresses in side the DMZ.  I could have used per 
packet load balancing with out a problem except for the fact that I 
specifically wanted to not use the backup connection unless the primary 
was down.
