FreeIPA replicas are master-master replicas by default. Can you please 
elaborate how did you create the slave server?

About client configuration - can you use autodiscovery with DNS SRV records? 
(the same as IPA uses for autodiscovery). You would just need to create DNS SRV 
records for your slave server, with priority lower than the priority of master 
server. Client should then look at the slave only if the master is not available.

HTH,
