I'm sorry, I don't know why I assumed MySQL.

This is of course always an option, and would probably be easiest.

Yeah this could be possible.

 Maybe the better module to use is DBIx::HA
https://metacpan.org/module/DBIx::HA or DBD::Multi
https://metacpan.org/module/DBD::Multi

And one other option might be, that if the app you pull data from is
HA, to create a customer backend for this specific app that uses its
API, instead of raw SQL.
