Split Read is a performance measure. It requires both database
connections. It is not a HA measure.

You probably should just toggle the database dns name's IP during failover.

Implementing a list of DB hosts which cycles on failed connect should
not be too hard, but I think it's a very special requirement. The core
devs might not be interested.
