The overall design is being driven by our rigorous application needs more than anything. The implementation is straight forward we receive a duplicate set of feeds from site A and site B and can also access various services coming from site A or site B however, at any given time a user

Am I right in assuming that you're establishing application-layer sessions to two hosts with two different IP addresses (outside of your control) which provide (close to) identical services? If so, there's not much you can do outside of the application itself (at least if you want a semi-robust
