BY using dependency= in log_archive_dest you get only one log on the remote
box which both standbys use. This works very well but we get the temporary
hang for log switch. Judging by the silence maybe no-one is using it.

LAD_1=location=blah
LAD_2=service=orcl async valid_for=(online_logfile,primary_role)
db_unique_name=orcl reopen=30
LAD_3=service=test6stby async
valid_for=(online_logfile,primary_role)db_unique_name=test6stby
dependency=log_archive_dest_2
