I think the indexing will be fine. We are looking to use multi-select
faceting, spelling suggestions, and highlighting to name a few. On the front
end (and on separate machines) are .NET web applications that issue queries via
HTTP requests to our searchers.
I can't think of anything else that will require extra processing. Thanks for
bringing those considerations to my attention. Is there anything there that
significantly impacts the hardware needs?

Currently, we use lucene and have one box for our
indexer that has 32 gigs of memory and an 8 core CPU. We have a pair of
search boxes that have about 16 gigs of ram a piece and 8 core CPUs. They
hardly break a sweat.
We're looking to adopt Solr. Should we
consider changing our configuration at all? Are there any other hardware
considerations for adopting Solr?

On the face of it, your machines should easily be
adequate for the
the search volume you are looking at. However, there are
other things
that you should consider:
* How are you indexing? What are acceptable times for
this?
* Are there any new Solr-specific features that you are
considering
using, e.g.,
faceting? What performance benchmarks are you looking
to achieve?
* What is your front-end for the search? Where is it
running?
