If you are using ICP then there should be one peering directly to each
cache. There is little point in having a load balancer inbetween when
you are using ICP as ICP already provides you the load balancing and
more.

If you are using a load balancer and want everything sent via this you
should perhaps consider not using ICP as the two are mostly redundant
in a parent relation.

Also note that ICP is using UDP, not TCP. Not all load balancers
supports UDP in a good manner. And I am not sure if ICP is very NAT
frieandly..
