I think this is certainly possible. However, it's going to take 2 types of equipment to accomplish it. First you need a GTM or like service so that you can distribute the load across 2 DCs. The next one is iSessions which is found in v10 of the LTM. This will allow you to send traffic from the DR DC to the primary Mysql server in the other DC. In theory if active DC fails, the GTM will send traffic to only the DR DC and the LTM will use the DR mySQL because the health check failed to see the primary MySQL Server in the active DC site.
Some info about iSessions: Click here.
I hope this helps
