As all traffic is nated to the firewall address, you can load balance
traffic with source ip address of the firewall. But, i might warn you: i
did this, and it didn't worked. I even submitted a bug report, without
answer. It seems that the kernel panics if you try to load balance
traffic from the firewall itself. At least it did with me in 3.8, didn't
tested again with 3.9. But you can try for yourself. Try load balancing
traffic with source ip address of your border interfaces, the ones that
go to the internet. But consider yourself warned, that it might not work.
