Thanks for the info, Erik. I had gone through the tutorial in the SolrCloud Wiki and verified that queries are load balanced in the two shard cluster with shard replicas setup. I was wondering if I need to explicitly specify distrib=false in my single shard setup. Glad to see that Solr is doing the right thing by default in my case.
