But again, the point with setting up mirror mode is not to spread the load at all. It is to force all writes to a single master. My point being, this is not a necessary requirement for MMR.
Agreed.
In general I always recommend to send write requests to one master because you always have to write n times (with n replicas) anyway.
But with OATH-LDAP I send bind requests for the same OTP token (resulting in an modify request for updating the HOTP counter) to the same provider replica to (hopefully) get better response times while trying to reduce the likelihood of replication conflicts.
