Thanks, I understand accessing solr directly. I'm doing REST calls to a single machine.
If I have a cluster of five servers and say three Apache servers, I can round robin the REST calls to all five in the cluster? I guess I'm going to find out. :-) If so I might be better off just running Apache on all my solr instances.
