if i understand your suggestion James, you're refering to Solr taking care
of aggregation of searches across multiple seperate servers correct? you
use the term "master solr query instance" but i assume you are refering to
a SOlr server that is merging query results 9and not using the word
"master" in the master/slave replication sense)
is that correct?
i aggree, it would be a great feature, but it's very hard to get
"right" ... particulararly when you start taking about some of hte
complexities of hte SOlr RequestHandler interface. There has been a lot
of brainstorming on the idea...

...but no one has really come up with a clear direction on how to achieve
the goals
