Sounds like relayd(8) might be what you need -- in ports as net/relayd.
It works with the pf(4) firewall, and you can use it to implement
almost all of the functions of an expensive hardware loadbalancer on a
cheap PC.
It should be able to do what you want -- which I am more familiar with
as 'Direct Server Return.' relayd(8) is ported from OpenBSD, and the
FreeBSD port doesn't yet support absolutely everything that it can do
natively on OpenBSD. The missing stuff is mostly to do with creating a
HA firewall/load-balancer pair, which seems to be one of your
requirements, so you might want to try it under OpenBSD.
Cheers,
Matthew
