Understood quanah, but I have a single app which performs both read and write. App is using single connection string for binding with ldap. So shall I use two separate connection string, one for read and one for write in the application code ?
Also, as per the configuration setup suggested by you, how the replication need to be setup, I mean mirror mode across write pool members and another mirroring for read pool members from one of write pool member.

A load-balancer that is not doing round-robin (but some other policy, like response time or throughput) probably would be OK
OK agreed with you, but above loadbalancer config doesn't solve problem of horizontal scaling and load balancing.
In other words, is it possible to achieve a horizontally scalable, highly available and load balanced setup.
You set up two pools in the load balancer
Pool 1 -> For apps that only do reads, and handles load distribution in whatever method you feel best. Example DNS: ldap.example.com
Pool 2 -> For apps that write directly. Sticky session to a single provider unless it goes offline. Example DNS: ldap-provider.example.com
