Sounds like you are looking for an SI firewall that supports full load
balancing, not just high availability. FW-1 does this, there may be
others as well.

Keep in mind that you can run into connectivity issues if you have big
pipe connections. You end up in a situation where outbound packets can
cross one firewall and replies can hit the other before the state info
has had time to sync. 

Beyond that, it should fit your need.
