Even without a crawler, we must work with caches and load balancers. I will be using Solr with a load balancer in production. If Solr is a broken HTTP server, we will have to build something else.
Agree. Every instance of Solr in CNET that serves websites is behind a load balancer. I don't know the config details of the loadbalancers though, except that part of it is the LB checking for the existence of a server-enabled file. That allows administrators to remove the file and still bring up a Solr instance w/o live traffic hitting it. Solr does nothing with this file except display "enabled" or "disabled".
From solrconfig.xml:
<!-- configure a healthcheck file for servers behind a loadbalancer <healthcheck type="file">server-enabled</healthcheck> -Yonik
