You're screwed on the load balancing without a 3rd system in the mix.
Preferably 4 systems, so you've got failover between the firewalls.
That's not the case anymore - see the IP BALANCING section in the
carp(4) manpage. (there are a few caveats, first and formost being
that
your layer 2 network will have to cooperate)
