This is also my experience, but as requested by the customer, both 
environments should be able to work independently of each other, so that 
when one environment is down, the other (at least front-end) is still 
fully functional and in worse case, one environment can be placed in an 
other datacenter.

I'll have a look at those links to see if I can find a solution there or 
else I'll see if I create a patch for using multiple URL's or try 
solving it using a proxy.

Thanks
