Erwin: If I understand your usecase correctly, you want to pick one server in group B as a Leader and have server A connect to that Leader. You can accomplish that by using a LeaderStandBy state model (available in Helix) for the cluster. Server group B will be participants of that cluster, while server A will be a spectator and can pass the requests to the Leader by having the External View of the cluster.
Does that satisfy your usecase?
