what you are looking for is a LB with DSR mode (direct server return) this is done by manipulating the mac add header ... you could hack something up yourself or purchase an appliance from known vendors that support dsr mode (brocade/a10 being 2 of many...)

I have a question about nginx configured as a load-balancer. Usually, when HTTP requests are balanced to a back-end server, the HTTP reply is sent back to the client through the load-balancer. Is this also the case for nginx,

Yes.

or is it also possible to configure nginx that the backend server will directly respond to the client? I wonder...

No.
