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.
