I don't see any problem. You can put firewall before LBs or between LBs and backend servers. Some firewall such as pf and cisco devices provides failover and loadbalancing too.

pf == OpenBSD based PF firewall. You can install it on two servers with carp and it will act as load balancing faliover firewall.
