Would both pools be used by a single process? Or is the assumption that
some applications would have a read-only view of the database and some
have a read-write view.

We've had customers that used read-only replicas.  We've thought of
doing the ourselves, but so far, the benefit hasn't outweighed the hassle
of separating our applications into read-only and read-write instances.
