Jared, The default value of maxShardsPerNode is 1. Even if you make it higher, the collections API won't put replicas for the same shard on the same server, as long as the number of available hosts is a multiple of your replication factor. I would consider it a bug if the API were to ever put more than one replica for the same shard on the same host, regardless of the number of available hosts. I do not know whether the API has such a bug or not. A override option to allow replicas on the same host might make sense for proof-of-concept setups, but you'd never want to use it in production. Thanks, Shawn
