Its all depends on the design, if this FW is Internet-facing then 

 

Internet---FW --LB ---Intranet

Just adding a small not, you will have two put the LB after the firewall
for functional reasons as well. The serverfarm should be directly connected
to LB. You can't place a firewall between LB and serverfarm (even with a
transparent firewall it is not recommended).

@msaeed I'd put the load balancer behind/after the firewall.

thanks, I have one more question can I connect multiple ISP as multi-WAN to the  FW 1150 and do load balancing?
