Anson, One way of doing it is having subsets of your indexes / data on different machines. Each machine indexes its own data. You implement a system that distributes queries to the various machines and merges the results back.
The working well completely depends on your implementation of the distributed search. I believe there was a discussion about implementing this using a MultiSearcher somewhere as well. Cheers!

How does it work and does it work well?
