Assuming that the IP addresses of the RAS Gateways are 10.125.1.10 and 10.125.1.20 respectively, The final configuration should  be as follows:

frontend ft_web
  bind 0.0.0.0:443
  default_backend bk_web
backend bk_web
  balance roundrobin
  cookie ASP.NET_SessionId prefix nocache
  server s1 10.125.1.10:443 check cookie s1
  server s2 10.125.1.20:443 check cookie s2
