RJ, You may want to take a simpler step - single Solr core (no solr.xml needed) per machine. Then distributed search really only requires that you specify shard URLs in the URL of the search requests. In practice/production you rarely benefit from distributed search against multiple cores on the same server anyway.

I've set up a single solr instance, and one multicore instance. If someone would be willing to share some configuration examples and/or advise for setting up solr for distributing the search, I would really appreciate it. I've read that there is a way to do it, but most of the current documentation doesn't provide enough example on what to do with solr.xml, and the solrconfig.xml. Also, I'm using tomcat 6 for the servlet container. I deployed the solr 1.4.0 released yesterday. Thanks RJ
