Yes it is possible, though it may make only sense iff you have several 
clients behind the gateway (since for example http is a stateless 
protocol where most often every single picture and page is fetched using 
another tcp connection and if you balance it always, you are constantly 
switching the source ip which breaks ssl and session tracking. Generally 
you always use the same link for the same destination, which means less 
balancing, so you need more clients to even it out again)

But for help, I have found the nano-howto extremely useful.
