Mark,

 

Given your additional design details, I would encourage you even more to avoid ACTIVE/ACTIVE. If your DR has only one unit, and you want HA in your primary, not to mention the points Souza makes below, it would really be in your best interest to go ACTIVE/STANDBY. There truly is NO advantage to it in your case. Only pitfalls, added complexity, and the increased cost of ownership that comes with both.

Would you? :)

 

Keep it fun!
