You would be far better off manipulating the routes (routing protocol) in
your network with the routers on the inside of the PIX, and then just
letting the the traffic flow through the PIX as usual. You will find this
solution much easier to implement and far more forgiving on your pocketbook!
Of course if your using RIP this is not an option.

Subject: Load Balancing Across Multiple PIX
