For PIX failover load sharing you need FO active/active licence (avaiable from 7.0 code)

Check this licence pages

Even with v7 and active-active failover, I would say that it is not true load-balancing: it is per-context load-balancing. In each context (virtual firewall) one of the pair is active, the other standby.

For true load balancing you might consider putting a CSS in front of the PIXs.
