You can also just configure the client to point to a single db node and have an applicative monitoring based update to the db connection string upon failover. Then you're not actually dependent on your client loadbanacing logic. It's very robust and if you follow CQRS also highly available.

Except propagating a configuration update to multiple clients, without a split brain is a hard distributed systems problem :). Especially in the presence of those pesky network partitions.
