Well the services on the real servers that need to connect to the database are themselves balanced. The situation where maybe the database on the real server dies but the application continues to run would create a scenario where the application would not be able to write to the database yet the application would still respond to client requests.

yes you have to handle failover but don't confuse loadbalancing with failover
