You have a couple of options.
Look at CARP in 5.4, that might do what you want best.
  man 4 carp

Also google for: ipfw policy routing
that is slightly different, but if you are going tests to see when a
link goes up and down, and can change your firewall rules based on that,
that would work I think.
