I haven't run a setup as your are describing, but it should be possible. In 
your gist you did not provide the /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb of your two 
servers. The way I would attempt this is:

Install chef-server via omnibus on both servers. Use the 
/etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb config file to disable all services except 
for postgresql on one. On the other, disable postgresql and adjust postgresql 
config (vip) to point at other box.
