I don't think it'll work as I've tried this approach myself and the blocking issue was that Solr 1.4.1 use a different javabin version than Solr 3.4 (I think it's 1 vs 2) so the master and the slave(s) can't communicate using standard replication handler and thus can't exchange information and data about the index. My 2 cents. Tommaso
