We are using fielded query using EDISMAX which is passed into the q parameter.

How are you doing fielded search currently?  End users using the "lucene" query 
parser?  Or using dismax/qf?  

I'm just curious to drill into your needs here exactly in terms of 
request/response and whether a simple application layer handling of the alias 
need would suffice or this is something best handled in Solr.
