I don't fully get what you're trying to achieve. If each machine got an IP on the firewall, why would you want to use NAT, then (no routing beyond the firewall is about the only reason I can think of and in that case, you should kick your ISP)? Round robin DNS for sure does work and it doesn't at all care whether you got some NAT redirects or not.
