Under 5.3-RELEASE I have 3 DSL connections set to round-robin using
PF. Under 4.11 I had used IPF and IPNAT and had half of the net range
set to utilize one gateway, the other half to use another. I find the
PF round-robin solution to be much more effective. I am unsure if you
can use IPF/IPFW to round-robin nat, at least as easily as PF.

In short though, you won't need to modify your kernel, short of
including whichever firewall module you choose to utilize.

I'm curious, when you say simultaneously, do you mean you want the
same duplicated data to be sent out all of your gateways at the same
time?
