Your image is really small but correct me if i'm wrong but you want to implement a 2-tier certificate authority with a stand alone Root CA (not member of a domain)

For the issuing CA, you would like to configure 2 issuing CA behind a load balancer, am i right ?

If it 's the case, AFAIK, the only supported configuration for a high availability solution is to configure a failover cluster for you issuing CA (CA Service)

The CRL / AIA can be load balanced on a web server
