Veres,
What is size of your application? How many tables? volume. Depending, Oracle Streams may also be an option.
But DML redirect to master only may need some work, if application cannot support that. (or use specific service names for application? )
Your standby database can be logical/physical depending upon the application and the business need. And you could
defer the apply at the standby to leverage the stand by server as a "read only".
Hope this helps.
