What about just configuring the same settings on two servers NOT in failover ?

The effect would be similar to using host statements with fixed 
addresses - either server can respond (with the same address) and so 
it doesn't matter that they are not in failover.

This wouldn't work with any client who is allowed more than one 
address - for that you would still need to use failover.
