I think the segments file will also change if documents are deleted from the index.
Other ways to distribute the index will works as long as: 1) it makes a copy of the index that is in a consistent state 2) it keeps track of files that have changed (normally only a small amount) and transfter them to the slave Lucene can certainly record a list of all new segment files added. I think the tricky part is to ensure that a consistent copy of the index is being distributed.
