Since IPSEC is an integral part of IPv6 won't this have an affect on the 
deep packet inspection firewalls? Is this type of inspection expected to 
work in IPv6?

Perhaps using some kind of NAP the firewall is allowed to speak on behalf 
of the host(s) it firewalls, so that to the client it appears to be the 
firewall itself appears to be the IPSEC endpoint?
