I think it might be cleaner to use persistence to enforce this logic. When a request is made to either pool, you could insert a persistence cookie for both pools that maps member one from Pool-A to member one in Pool-B.
You could also configure monitors that would mark both corresponding pool members down if either paired pool member was down.
