I was thinking about something along the lines of:

# Mark all outgoing packets with fwmark 1
# Assume that packets from out local network (192.168.0.0/23) are
# outging traffic for arguments sake
ipchains -A input  -s 192.168.0.0/23 -m 1


# Now, set up a virtual service to act on the marked packets
ipvsadm -A -f 1
ipvsadm -a -f 1 -r 192.168.1.7
ipvsadm -a -f 1 -r 192.168.1.8
ipvsadm -a -f 1 -r 192.168.1.9

Where 192.168.1.7, 192.168.1.8 and 192.168.1.9 are your firewall boxen.
