How are you load balancing?
Layer 2 tricks, or full NAT which terminates on the ServerIrons?
Are you load balancing SSL?

Make a connection to one of the machines from _behind_ the Foundry
load balancers and see if you can get compressed output.
telnet machine-1.sfgate.com 80
  GET / HTTP/1.0
  Host: www.sfgate.com
  Accept-encoding: gzip

(hit enter twice and see if you get gobbelty-gook)
