Short Answer: No.
Slightly less short answer: You can "load share" by splitting your network
up and pointing each half to one of two virtual IP's. Set FW-A to be
primary for .1 and FW-B to be primary for .2 (as an example). You then have
two virtual IP's, reduncancy, and you can use both boxes. But, you have to
decide how you are going to cut up your network.
The only way to do TRUE load balancing is with the aforeto mentioned load
balancing products.
