You can System properties to allow a config to be used both for a slave and a master. You could also just not configure as a slave or master and try doing one off snap pulls with a chron job or something. We have not hooked up SolrCloud with replication because the new SolrCloud work happening on the solrcloud branch will only use it for recovery. Rather than replicate, added documents will simply be forwarded to all replicas so you can also use Near Realtime and to provide better consistency. -- - Mark http://www.lucidimagination.com
