That would require logic in the app to send read-only queries to the 
correct system.

Well, if you have 2 systems, and one fails, then you presumably need to 
be able to run everything you need one one box (or N-1 boxes, where N is 
the total number of systems you have).

In general, running active/active is way more complicated to build, 
support and troubleshoot than active/backup. Most likely, you think you 
need load balancing, but you really don't. Or, if you do to support your 
workload, then you're going to be having a bad day when you loose a system.
