The whole Active/Active load balancing thing is just a big illusion that
Cisco has created.
I hate this because when I explain the reality to my customers, they are
extremely disappointed and I have to do damage control caused by the sales
team.
As you have described it, one ASA is active for one context and the other
ASA is active for the other context.
They will not load balance a single context across both ASA's.

Subject: ASA active-active question
Hi,
Given:
- two ASA configured for active/active failover
- two security contexts
I know that I can actually load balance so that one ASA be active for
one context and another one be active for the other context. What
happens to traffic received on the secondary IP address (i.e. received
by the ASA that is not active for a given context)? Does the
secondary pass through the traffic? In other words, can I load
balance in the same context? (guess not, but I don't have the ASAs to
experiment)
Thanks,
Mihai
