You need to provide more information about your networking, such as  
whether you have an ASN and a routable address block, or whether your  
IPs are being delegated to you from your ISP(s).  If so, then you  
ought to look into BGP/EGP.  Otherwise, you might find something like  
carp(4) useful.

However, FreeBSD does not support multiple default gateways-- the  
standard routing table is designed to give one and only one answer,  
based on the destination IP, for where packets should go.  If you  
need more complicated routing, you can use something like the  
openbgpd port, aka http://www.openbgp.org/....
