I'm never sure what you mean when you say the replica's should slave from
both masters. A replica can only take updates from *one* master for a
given tree. Your best option in your case is to set up MMR where only one
master is taking writes (mirror mode), and have the replica use a load
balanced name between the two masters as its "master" for updates. That
should keep data consistent.
