Hi,

this task is beyond the ability of pacemaker. Your application has to know how 
to handle that.

Best solution would be to use virtual IP addresses for services B1 and B2. 
make sure that the IP addresses run together with the services. Now you 
service A only has to talk to the IP addresses, no matter on which host they 
run.

pacemaker could take care that they run on different hosts is possible.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Michael Schwartzkopff
