Yeah, that's how it works - it ends up hitting the select request handler (this might be overridable with shards.qt) All the params are passed along, so in general, it will act the same as the top level req handler - but it can the remove the shards param so you don't have an infinite recursion of distrib requests (say in the case you put shards in the tea handler in solrconfig).
I think you have to investigate shards.qt Or look at adding those components to the std select handler as well.
