I spoke with my PCI compliance officer here, and provided you've documented
what you're doing here and why, you should be compliant. We had a fairly
long discussion about this and I had to explain to him that I was referring
to the slave as being a hot standby, ready to take over in the event of an
issue with the primary. If you're doing this for some other reason, so long
as it's explained, you could still be OK.
